Bill must weigh the costs and benefits of different career paths, both within the field of therapy and outside of it. As he has no dependants, going back to school might be one option. Or, he might wish to enter private practice. Working at a lower level and hoping to move up a career ladder at a new facility, is still a possible option, despite Bill's former reservations. The therapist must try to interpret if Bill's initial despair about finding similar work was due to a hidden dislike of the job, or fear of seeking out a new career.
For example, a Stage I dialogue might go as follows:
Bill: I feel so old. I'm a failure, washed up.
Therapist: When didn't you feel too old to be a therapist?
Bill: I guess when I was just starting out.
Therapist: What has changed since then?
Bill: I don't know. This rejection.
Therapist: Do you miss your old job, or are you more hurt by the rejection?
Bill: I don't know. Both. Well, I guess in a way, the rejection. The job was kind of getting to me.
Therapist: What would be your ideal job if you faced no restrictions?
Bill: I'm not sure, I never thought about it before.
(pause)
Bill: I'd really prefer to go back to private practice, if I was going to be a therapist again. Not having to deal with all of that administrative B.S.
Therapist: What are you doing to change your situation?
Bill: (laughs nervously). Sending...
I guess I'm not sure what I want to do. Sometimes I think about going back to school. I have fantasized about going to art school, but that isn't a possibility.
Therapist: If you think you are unlikely to get another job through Monster.com, why are you not seeking out other possibilities? Does the idea of not working as a therapist frighten you or excite you?
Bill: In a way, it is kind of liberating. But I do like helping people.
Therapist: You say you like art, what about art therapy?
Bill: Going back to school to get a degree in art therapy…that doesn't sound so unrealistic.
Questions like these can help Bill envision new possibilities for himself. The therapist usually engages in restating and paraphrasing the client's statements, to enable the client to feel as if he or she is being heard and the therapist understands his or her worldview.

The key years during which experimentation occurs - between 13 and 16. Kobus discusses influences that launch an adolescent's smoking habit from several perspectives. First, the "social learning theory": relationships that are "more intimate" and that are developed "earlier in the youth's experiences" and thought to be more important; and youths are more likely to "imitate the smoking habits" (or non-smoking habits) of those with whom they have the closes

Hair is also in contact with chemicals in shampoos, and any dyes, gels, sprays or other cosmetics that may be placed on the hair (11). Since there is no standardized method for cleaning these external contaminants off of the hair prior to analysis, the potential for inaccurate results from external contamination is widespread. There is no way to tell in the laboratory if a chemical is contained within the hair,

From a strictly percentage perspective, it would seem that Asian-Americans do not represent much of a threat at all to mainstream American society, but these mere numbers do not tell the whole story of course. For one thing, Asian-Americans are one of the most diverse and

dysfunctional behavior that strikes 1 out of 40 or 50 adults and 1 out of 100 children or 2-3% of any population. It can begin at any age, although most commonly in adolescence or early adulthood - from ages 6 to 15 in boys and between 20 and 30 in women -- according to the National Institute for Mental Health. This behavioral affliction is, therefore, more common than schizophrenia
