Introduction
The prevailing sentiment that “the mind is the standard of the man” in many ways holds water, especially when relating human behavior and what happens in mind. Being the reservoir of the past and the present events, the brain functioning is directly responsible for the manner of general human behavior. This paper provides a critique of some of the articles that have an immense contribution to the behavioral therapy as below
First, the first article provides a comprehensive discussion on the holistic approach of dealing with the behavioral tendencies that are a result of a traumatizing event in childhood developmental stages. Through the use of the all-inclusive approach of Cognitive Behavioral theory, any counselor is enabled to notice the relationship between the behavioral pattern of a patient and the economic, cultural, and other dimensions of life. In this sense, the study does not focus merely on the present circumstances but digs into the whole issue to get a proper solution on the same. However, the research should also focus on the integral role of a therapist in giving more space to life skills and interpersonal communication than the theoretical frameworks in engaging the clients.
Next, dealing with the post-traumatic experience is a significant challenge not only to children but also adults. This, therefore, calls for the incorporation of the necessary therapeutic mechanism that could help in the abnormal situations exhibited. The use of various approaches like Cognitive, behavioral therapy, play therapy, creative therapies, and mindfulness, to mention a few, provide a firm ground to deal with behavioral malpractices. Down the other path, the paper does not give a better clear definition on how to handle the group counseling technique. There is a need for a clear explanation of the issue of group counseling since there are individual differences among patients with different problems.
Lastly, the article opines the challenges that are usually faced with children and adolescents, especially in the present world, which consequently contributes to their behavior. In addressing both the internal and external factors that contribute to the given practice, especially for this delicate group, the writer provides a robust perspective in which issues of abnormal behavior for different types of people can be dealt with. The paper thus can be improved by giving a healthy discussion on the mechanism that can address the issue of mistrust between the client and the counselor based on, among other things, cultural differences.
