Egan Counselling Theory

Oh, I won’t, I won’t!” (102-107). Amy was conflicted emotionally by her son’s death that she attempted to seek an escape of her thoughts by visiting others. By doing so, she tried to forget her child’s death and tried to move on with her life like her husband. Amy would then seek out the best of her life to avoid thinking about the grave and her own demise.

In Amy Bloom’s “Silver Water”, She demonstrates the idea that people with mental illness are treated and looked at different by most normal people; Once Rose was diagnosed with her mental illness her family acted different to her as she sent to many doctors who wouldn 't help her with this illness. In the beginning of the “Silver Water” the family learn that Rose has a mental illness and her parents have to make a decision to do with her. Her father who is a psychiatrist didn 't want to sent her away because he thought that there was nothing wrong with her but her mother see that there is something wrong with Rose. Rose’s parents get in the huge argument about what is happening to Rose but her father is in full denial “”She is going off” “What is that your professional Opinion?...

After the tragic death of her brother years back, Annie is still devastated and is afraid to love or get too close to anyone again. Her glasses are a way of concealing herself from the Kellers in hopes of avoiding getting hurt again. As James started being more friendly to her, Anne hid herself once again behind her glasses, and shut him out of the

She’ll be there” (33) and when a different friend of Cammie’s says, “You’re going to have to talk to her eventually”(33), Bex responds, “I can’t do it” (33). Cammie’s friends were originally just mad at her for leaving them behind and worried about her, that they didn’t think about being mad at her for leaving, so once she returns, they finally start being angry at her for running away in the first place. During a counselling session, Cammie says,“I think I lost him... and her. I think I’ve lost them. But I guess they lost me first” (72).

Sam and Halsey were waiting for a pregnancy test, because Sam was raped by a man who worked in the after school program. Sam is hoping she doesn’t need an abortion because she couldn’t afford it, and then her parents would be angry. Halsey’s voice delivering these lines, was slow and deliberate. She sounded heartbroken as she told this first story. She didn’t want to have to watch her friend suffer.

The mother cares so much about her son that she does not want him to see her getting upset in his final days. “She held a ghost smile between her teeth, and in her eyes memories.” When it says ghost smile it shows that she does not want to show her child that she is upset about the situation of his death, because as you know children do not like it when they see their mother upset. Also when it says the memories in her eyes it refers to the flashbacks of the good times they had together presumably before they got put in the refugee camp. This is therefore another reason for her to be hiding her

Later, when Phaedra’s nurse got her to admit the cause of her sickness, Phaedra explains, “At first when love had struck me, I reflected how best to bear it. Silence was my first plan: to conceal that illness”(Hippolytus 393-395) to prove that she decided it best to keep her feelings a secret. She further explains, “Next, I believed that I can conquer love, conquer it with discretion and good sense. And when that too failed me, I resolved to die”(Hippolytus, 398-400), Phaedra explained her whole plan on how she was going to go about her feelings for Hippolytus and none of it ever mentions trying to fulfill them. Phaedra also states, “I cannot bear that I should be discovered a traitor to my husband and my children”(Hippolytus, 420-421) to make clear where her loyalties lie and to prove that she would never do anything that went against her family.

She can’t move from her fears, because it lives in

Throughout reading this argument I could not stop thinking about what the parents might be going through to see their dying daughter be poked and prodded like the way she was and how they felt to hear the doctors and nurses say there was nothing they could do. To hear that as a parent must be the worst thing to go through. However, the author decides to not include the feelings of the parents into her article and I feel that it might not be fair to portray the young couple as villains who did not care what their daughter was going through while they might have just been thinking that they did not want to lose her. I understand that they might have not been willing to participate in talking to a hospital ethicist after their daughter had passed on, but to even have a glimpse into the thought process of the parents really could have taken this article to the next level, in my

I do believe nurses should be taking care of their patients with compassion (Peate 1). I am sure that when their family members get sick they want the best care they could get so why not treat your patients like they are part of your family. There are many nurses out there that I’ve seen from my experience not even liking to teach student nurses when they go to their clinical. If they are not happy with what they do they should not be there making sick patients feel worse than they already

Worker questioned if Rebecca feels really that 's because of self medicating her bipolar disorder. Rebecca states and yes she would medicate for the bipolar. So the worker how she was shaking and her anxiety was high. Rebecca states that she has put her job before her children and once she is released she will do anything and everything possible to regain custody of her children.

(STEWE-2) Najmah is again unable to open up to Nusrat because of her trigger avoidance, “I try to smile at her, she is very kind, but I still do not want to be touched and I do not yet want to talk about my family” (Staples 206). Once again, her trigger avoidance acts as a tool for the author to explain that loss affects a person in a way that they will never be the same again. As Najmah does not wish to talk about her family, it shows that by avoiding any and all possible triggers she protects herself from pain. The suffering she experienced during and after the bombing explains her wish to never experience it ever again. But that in itself shows that their deaths control her actions and her feelings.

There are some situations in which the right to individual self-determination may be outweighed or limited by rights, health, and welfare of others (Taylor, 2010, p. 148). C.C.’s rights are both limited and outweighed because she is not of age and because her mother also refuses to consent to life saving treatment. Since her illness is life threatening, the state Supreme Court and DCF will take custody and make these decisions for her and is now forced to undergo treatment (Leonard,

Mary’s family should not authorize a hip replacement in her case because it seems as though her quality of life is detreating and that would only make her health worse before it gets better. She would need someone on watch 24/7 to make sure she does not hurt herself. But, if her family is willing to take on the added stress and risk in her condition then it is up to them, to make the decision. Mary is in no shape to make logical decisions on her own and if the family has just given up than the choice is left up to the medical staff and judge. But, on the flip side the family should be obligated to come together to help their mother no matter how hard it is to side by and watch the process take place.

With months of research she came to the conclusion that no treatment could save her life, and the treatments recommended would destroy the time that she had left. She considered hospice in San Francisco, but with palliative care, her body would develop morphine resistant pain and she would suffer personality changes including verbal, cognitive and motor function loss. Considering that she was physically healthy, her body would hold on for a long time and she would suffer for weeks or months in hospice and her family would have to watch that. Brittany didn’t want that for her family. So in her research she found the Death With Dignity Act, and decided that it would be the best option for her.
