Provide real examples of 2 biases and 2 distortions. CLO3: Apply: The student will use information in new situations while demonstrating their skills in written communication, critical thinking, and information literacy. Select two biases and provide a real-life situation or example that illustrates each understanding of each one. http://mentalfloss.com/article/68705/20-cognitive-biases-affect-your-decisions Select two distortions and provide a real-life situation or example: https://psychcentral.com/lib/15-common-cognitive-distortions/ #4.

How would you address, limit, or combat the biases and distortions you discussed in #3. What safeguards, questions, and self-talk would you use to dilute the impact of these biases and distortions

For this discussion, you will create a scenario in which you are counseling a client, applying techniques from Reality theory. The details of the counseling session scenario are up to you; however, note that your client must come from a diverse social or cultural background. Write the script of your hypothetical counseling session. The script must have at least 20 responses—10 from the client and 10 from you as the counselor. Your responses must align with the philosophy and goals of Reality theory and with the multicultural contributions or strengths of Reality theory. Be sure that your interventions align with Reality theory of change, interventions, and its vision of client and counselor roles. You will present the following:

1) A brief introduction to the client scenario. The theory you are choosing to apply (REALITY) with a brief rationale for why it is appropriate for the client and his or her presenting problem.

2) Your script, which illustrates REALITY theory. A

3) Paragraph discussing how concepts you applied in the script related REALITY theory's key concepts, theory of change, interventions, and vision of client and counselor roles.

4) A paragraph discussing how your client's social or cultural background affected your application of your chosen approach.

Clinical Approach and Evaluation

Reality Therapy offers ways of setting the environment and follows procedures that lead to change. This process interrelates with choice theory in ascertaining the quality world pictures, needs, total behavior, and evaluation emanating from perceiving to what degree the person has matched their pictures to get he needs. Some questions may be: What do you want out of life? What do you want out of your relationship? What do you desire out of your friends? Out of work? Out of play? Out of power?

Wubbolding used and Reality Therapy and streamlined counseling procedures (Wubbolding, 2000). Fie provided the acronym WDEP which allows counselors not only to ground themselves in a coherent framework, but to expand into a myriad of questions within the process (Wubbolding, 2000). This process is intended for clinicians to follow a path within the counseling session. First they obtain what the client wants, what he is doing to achieve it. Then they help the client evaluate current behavior, and assess the plan. Within this framework, counseling comes to a quick close. This occurs because clinicians ignore past history, unconscious activity, and transference. They focus mainly on thinking and acting (hand and handle) aspects of total behavior. The Freudian concepts do not fit into this model because focusing on emotion and past history is fruitless except to elucidate the present and this is a decision made by the counselor. If reviewing the past only allows clients to relive painful experiences, then this would not be within the realm of reality therapy. Reality Therapy operates in the present moment with present relationships (Glasser, 1998).

Client evaluation, then, is based on client wants, their behaviors and their plan to achieve what they really want. The clinician listens to the client's story and gathers pertinent data; however, the clinician does not make a mental health diagnosis outright. That said, a diagnosis is ethically mandatory even if Choice Theorists disagree with the DSM. Fie stated that a pathological diagnosis is only necessary for insurance purposes (Glasser, 1998).
