You are a resource specialist at a local family center. The following is the client portion of an interview you have with your new client, Liz. Use a Voice Memo or Online Voice Recorder to complete the resource specialist portion of the discussion. You can have someone else read the role of Liz if you like. Make sure to use appropriate counseling language and demonstrate how to use empathy, open-ended questions, reflections, summaries, and nonverbal counseling skills.

 

 

At the end of your interview, discuss two specific resources you would refer to Liz and her husband to help them with their situation. These resources can be specific to your own area.

Liz: I’m really worried. My husband’s union went out on strike a month ago, and he’s out with them. Meanwhile, there’s no money coming in. We haven’t paid any bills in three weeks. I just don’t see how we’re going to pull through this.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: My husband is so proud. He won’t even consider asking for any financial help. He just says, “Don’t worry. They will hire us back. ”In the meantime, we have to live. We have to support ourselves. But he flips out every time I even suggest that I could get a job.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: Even before he went out on strike, we were living paycheck to pay check. He made just enough to cover the rent, utilities, and groceries. But we were never able to save anything. Now there hasn’t been a paycheck in several weeks. The rent is due, and, with it getting colder outside, we need to get fuel oil. But every time we talk about bills or money, we seem to get into a fight. I’m just so angry at him.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: I’ve mainly been trying to keep my thoughts to myself because when I do bring up my concerns, it ends up in a huge argument. And I don’t want to fight. But he’s got to realize how bad the situation is. He’s letting his pride rule his head. He’s too proud to let me work. He just doesn’t seem to see the seriousness of our predicament.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: I don’t think he’s really considered what may happen. He’s so sure that everything will be fine. And I hope he’s right, I truly do. But we have to have another plan to fall back on, just in case the strike isn’t successful. I don’t mean to be a pessimist, but I don’t want to bury my head in the sand either.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: Well, I wish he would agree for me to work part-time, but he won’t. I guess if things got really bad, my parents could help us out until we were back on our feet. But I would rather not have to ask them for money.

Resource Specialist:
Liz: I just don’t know where to go from here, and that’s why I’m talking to you. I figured you could give me advice on dealing with my husband

and could tell me how we might be able to get out of our financial bind. What do you think I should do?

duction that have been conducted in the natural sciences that are mainly the product of an individual. Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist who majorly contributed to modern day physics through his theory of relativity and other findings. In 1905, Einstein was working at the patent office doing creative work. He began to produce at least four revolutionary articles in 1905 by himself. The first essay Einstein published was an application of the quantum theory, a conjecture founded by physicist Max Planck. This theory was related to light to explain the photoelectric effect to expand on the ideas of Planck. The second article was about atoms and electrons analyzing motion based on the findings of Robert Brown. The other two articles were based on two principal theories of physics by Isaac Newton. Even though the articles were written and analyzed by Einstein alone, each paper was based on the findings of another demonstrating collaboration. This shows that the production of knowledge can be individual but must be collaborative to some extent. Similarly, there are studies of knowledge production being an individual task in the human sciences. Psychologist Roger Sperry performed multiple experiments animals and humans in order to find the function of each hemisphere of the brain in regards to behavior. In the 1950s and 1960s, he studies and severed the corpus callosum to discover split brain, the idea that the hemispheres of the brain function independently. In the late 1900s, he performed more split brain research at the California Institute of Technology. Most of his research revolved around his dissections of the corpus callosum. Since he was conducting these studies by himself, many years later he found that the left hemisphere relates to understanding language while the right hemisphere relates to recognition and not articulation. Because his research was revolutionary and the product of an individual, Sperry received the Nobel Prize for his work. In order to further expand on his discoveries, other psychologists have expanded on Sperry’s work to evaluate the right and left hemispheres as seen in the Embryo Project at Arizona State University. Through shared knowledge, this discovery along with findings were solidified. Since other psychologists have utilized the split brain research, there has been some collabor
