PROMPT: Please watch the short video above. Then, I want you to imagine that you are a new therapist and Cameron’s parents come to you for help. In chapter one, you read about the seven modern perspectives that are used to explain behaviors and how these different perspectives are used in therapy.
Based on your opinion, what perspective would you use to help Cameron and his parents to overcome his behavioral issues? Please use your textbook as a reference and BE SURE to site your source in the text AND at the end of your post. It’s okay to get information from other places to do an assignment as long as you rearrange the words in our own way (this is called paraphrasing) AND you site it in text (Author Last, year of publication) and as a reference at the end of your post. Do not use exact wording copied from your source (textbook, scholarly articles, etc.), you MUST say it in your own words. For the this first discussion post, I will be more lenient than in future posts, because I know this is something new to all of you. Do your best, and you will learn from our mistakes.
