Psychology Counseling TEST

Exam 1 – Study Guide

This exam will be open-book/open-notes and you will have 2 hours complete it. For this exam, you will be presented with a case study. The case study will be followed with questions for you to apply to the case. You need to have a good understanding of the class materials studied so far in Modules/Weeks 1–4 so that you can find information needed for the answers. There are only four questions on the exam; however, you should answer them thoroughly and include information from your class materials. You are also allowed to use additional materials if you so choose.

Some of the information that you should review is listed below:

· The developmental stages of a woman’s life and how they may interact with other problems presented by a client.

· Marital issues and how you would help a woman work through some of them.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

· Be aware of the differences in genders and how each gender may approach problems as well as grief.

· Review the eating disorders, causes, and the appropriate treatments for them.

· Review self-esteem issues and how you would help a woman gain self-worth.

· Know how to apply biblical perspectives to treating a woman with the issues presented in Modules/Weeks 1–4.
