Similar to Freud, Carl Rogers developed his theory from his extensive work with his patients. However, unlike Freud, he believed that people are typically healthy; being mentally healthy is the normal state. Although there are unhealthy people, they are not the norm or what one has to accept and live with throughout one’s life. Furthermore, Rogers believed that each person has one primary motivation—to realize his/her full potential or to be self-actualized. Finally, he posited that neurosis stems from incongruence between one’s real self and one’s ideal self. He applied this to his theory of counseling in the development of three therapeutic criteria that he felt were both necessary and sufficient to help the patient. These three qualities are now the foundation for modern person-centered therapy.

The three qualities that form the foundation of Rogerian therapy are empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. These will be relatively easy to express for people you naturally like but can be difficult to express for people whom you do not like nor agree with.

Imagine that you are a psychologist working with a population of individuals that tend to be more difficult to work with, such as sex offenders, elderly patients with dementia, or mentally challenged children. Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research the concepts of Rogerian therapy and respond to the following questions:

Realistically, do you think it is possible to be congruent and to extend empathy and unconditional positive regard to these clients in a psychotherapeutic context? Why or why not?
How do you think clinicians practicing Rogerian therapy would approach these concepts for these clients?
How might Rogerian therapy be a helpful strategy for these clients?
Is it possible these concepts of Rogerian therapy could hinder treatment?

Write your initial response in 4–5 paragraphs

Leaders face many hurdles when leading in multiple countries. There are several examples of disastrous public relations fallout that have occurred when companies have outsourced work to other nations. When determining where to move offshore as a company, the leaders of the organization must make several decisions.

Using course theories and current multinational organizations that have locations in several countries, convey your own thoughts on the subject and address the following:

• What leadership considerations must an organization weigh in selecting another country to open a location such as a manufacturing plant?
• How might leaders need to change leadership styles to manage multinational locations?
• What public relations issues might arise from such a decision?
• How would you recommend such a company to demonstrate their social responsibility to their headquarters country as well as any offshore locations?

Use this link to access the “Fed Chairman Game” from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for this session’s “Federal Reserve Chairman Game and Reflection Paper” assignment.

http://sffed-education.org/chairthefed/default.html

The link above will take you to the “Fed Chairman Game.” In this game, you are appointed as the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve by the President in order to implement monetary policy. The game will take you through a simulated economy and allow you to control the federal funds (interest) rate in pursuit of full employment and of price stability. The object of the game is to get appointed for another term.  Read the game’s instructions, and play at least two rounds of the game.

After playing, write a paper reflecting on the simulation and describing your experience (250 word minimum). Include the following items in your reflection paper:

• Using the concepts you’ve been studying, describe how the game shows the use of monetary policy?

• How can unforeseen circumstances effect the economy? Give examples.

• How does the Fed react to these circumstances? Did you get re-appointed? Why or why not?

Please write and submit this reflection as a doc or docx attachment using the submission link, which is the link for the assignment title above.
