Narrative Narrative therapy is founded on social or constructionist philosophy, which is concerned with the world we make for ourselves and the "narrative" we develop to explain or justify that reality (Murdock). These tales are typically formed by the client's expectations of themselves, as opposed to external stories generated by their life events (Corey, 2009). This philosophical dilemma is not presented by Ana. Her narrative is based on the truth of her solitude and loneliness. It is not a figment of her mind, nor is it a fiction she has made up to explain the circumstances in her life that are causing her pain. Despite the fact that story therapy has been shown to be helpful in reducing depression symptoms in as little as 8 sessions ( Vromans & Schweitzer, 201), which would match her financial profile, narrative therapy is not a good strategy for her based on the explanation above. Solution-Focused Ana's unease originates from the external facts of her current situation, not from internal issues. Ana, as previously said, lacks familial support and participation in a supportive social group, financial stress as a result of job loss in a career derailment, and the confinements of parenting as a virtual single mother. These are rather minor problems. When Ana's passion, willingness, and financial resources in the form of insurance coverage are combined, she becomes a great candidate for treatment (Murdock, 2017). Because there is no need to focus on the past, but just on what is actually reachable in the present, solution-focused treatment is highly recommended for success possibilities.  Missing hyphens: one year old  one-year-old  assist, assistance (help): assistance  help  Three successive sentences begin wit...: Ana  assist, assistance (help): assistance  help  Passive voice: family is dispersed and di...  Word repetition: Narrative Narra...  Narrative  Passive voice: tales are typically formed...  Passive voice: dilemma is not presented b...  despite the fact...: Despite the fac...  Although  Passive voice: been shown to be  Spelling mistake: Vromans  Romans Ana, the 24-year-old immigrant from Guatemala, who raises a one year old kid alone while her husband is deployed in the military overseas, will be discussed in this article. She just lost her job and had to drop out of college after one year to care for her son. She hasn't seen her Guatemalan family in over a year, but she says she gets along well with her parents and siblings. Ana feels hesitant to seek assistance from her relatives. Ana speaks of serious concern about her husband's financial problems and security, insomnia, weight loss and emotions of desperation. Ana volunteered therapeutic assistance and is prepared to do a spectrum of treatment in around eight sessions. In order to find the appropriate treatment choice in their presenting difficulties we will study several types of post-modern therapeutic ideas. Evaluation of Theories Feminist And his family is dispersed and divided by distance. There is no indication, and she has not stated, that there is a difficulty with communication or other structural family issues, or with her position in her marital or parental family. She is a successful mother who has excelled in both her profession and her schooling. Feminist philosophy is based on the idea of empowering women to achieve equal position in society with men (Murdock, 2017).Ana's issues originate from cultural and familial isolation caused entirely by her physical separation from her family and spouse, not from societal tyranny. Feminist therapy is useful in dealing with social and cultural issues (Comas-Diaz, 1987), but it is not a suitable fit for this case. For these reasons, I do not feel it is a realistic option for her rehabilitation.

Goals of Counseling and Interventions Ana is clear about her requirements and knows exactly what she wants to accomplish. She is looking for a complete and intact family, a profession, and a fruitful way of life. It is not a case in which the problems are not obvious, but the remedies appear to even her out. The goal and underlying concept of solution-focused therapy is to support Ana in her deliberate desire to achieve this level of well-being (Murdock, 2017). The idea is to establish a collaborative therapy partnership aimed at achieving Ana's goals without casting judgment. She can create a more realistic image of her future and use her present abilities to get there (Bavelas, et al., 2013). A good solution would involve her identifying the perceived difficulties and applying Ana's own strengths, as well as external resources and behaviors, to the situation. Anna would be shown that there is a good tale about her environment, that her present perspective on her position does not dictate the course of her life, and that she has the capacity to have a less difficult life in the future (Corey, 2009). The therapist will intervene by first listening for hints about what is essential to Anna, as well as indicators of strengths and current problem-solving abilities, and then building on selected material to explain solutions in line with the client's preferences (Bavelas, et al.). The Process of Treatment Ana's circumstance necessitates unique answers to previously identified difficulties. Solution focused brief treatment (SFBT) is effective in the short term (Murdock, 2017), and 8 sessions should be sufficient for both therapeutic and economical reasons. Following the establishment of a collaborative connection with Ana, the therapist must turn her emphasis to envisioning the life she desires to live. She will develop realistic goals, supported by therapist-assisted questions that will elicit answers that match the image she has built for herself. Subsequent sessions will track her progress toward these objectives and keep her focused on what her life will be like after she is finished with treatment and how new consistent behaviors can become the norm (Bavelas, et al.).  verb accomplish (do, archiv...: accomplish  do  sufficient (enough): sufficient  enough  Commonly confused wor...: economical  economic  Spelling mistake: Latinas  Latina The Social and Cultural Needs of the Client Ana's history as a recent Latina immigrant to the United States is an essential factor for the therapist to consider while guiding her to acceptable answers to her difficulties. Her worries are rooted in the family-oriented character of Latina culture. SFT has been used successfully across cultural boundaries with Latinas and other ethnic groups (Meyer & Cottone, 2013).

scenario, Ana's family dependency, which is prevalent in Guatemala, may collide with the individualistic US society (Stevens, 2008, p.159). The counselor must "co-create a cultural consensus" while being led by Ana's value system (Stevens, p.160).  Redundant phrase: all of the  all the  Spelling mistake: pre-existing  preexisting  type of (omit): type of  Three successive sentences begin wit...: The Constructivist Philosophy. SFT constructivist theorists regard Ana's worldview as her one-of-a-kind reality, in which she is the expert (Murdock, 2017). Her values serve as guideposts for solutions (Dean, 1993), and the therapist must be aware of these notions, which are unfamiliar to the therapist at first (Murdock, 2017). Within that framework, Ana and the therapist must "co-create" solutions (Dean, p.48). Collaborative Approach. SFT is also a collaborative approach (Murdock, 2017), and the SFT counselor is not the issue solution. The client does all of the hard work, directed by the therapist's questions to her pre-existing inventory of problem-solving abilities (Bavelas, et al.). The client is pushed to recollect "exceptions" (times when the problem did not exist) to the problematic atmosphere, and to engage in behaviors that generated the problem-free environment, i.e., remedies, through this type of cooperation (Bavelas, et al.). The client is in therapy because they have lost recognized paths to these calm eddies in their life stream and wish to find their way back (Murdock, 2017). Ethical Considerations The most fertile ground for ethical quandaries or conflicts is a disparity in values between the client and the therapist, which may have cultural or religious roots (Dean, 1993).
