Check tips on how to do your Psychology Assignments. 

Jack, a counselor intern, is working in a college counseling center (or school counseling office). Mai-Ling, who came to the United States from mainland China with her parents 8 years ago, has come for her first session with Jack and has agreed to let him audiotape the session for his supervisor. Mai-Ling states that she has come for help in deciding whether to pursue a 2-year associate degree program in computer operations or apply to a baccalaureate program in computer science. Jack, very much aware that his supervisor will be listening for reflections of feelings and other attending skills, asks Mai-Ling how she feels about being confronted with this decision. She responds by simply restating her problem. The session continues in this fashion, with Jack probing for the client’s feelings and the client responding in a cognitive, content- oriented manner. After the session ends, Jack determines to ask his supervisor how to build rapport with this difficult client.

• What does Jack need to know about the culture of persons from mainland China that could have been helpful to him in this counseling session with Mai-Ling?
• What do you think about Jack labeling Mai-Ling as a difficult client?
