Welcome to the first module of your Stratford Career Institute Drug & Alcohol Treatment

package are designed to be used.

The reading material for Module One is a text entitled Preparing to Counsel Others. It offers an introduction to the field of counseling by providing information on several key

topics that are important to understand before one goes on to acquire the technical

details of particular social problems and interventions. The next module will be sent to

you automatically once you are close to completing the assignments in this first package.

In Module One you will be covering the following topics:

• The Foundations of Human Behavior

• The Process of Socialization

• Social Issues in General

• Social Issues in the Workplace

• A Recipe for Psychological and Social Wellness

• Counseling Tasks and Competencies

• Recognizing Ambiguity and Complexity

This Student Assignment Booklet divides the reading material for Module One into three

assignments as follows:

Assignment 1: Pages 1 to 35, Exam 1

Assignment 2: Pages 37 to 75, Exam 2

Assignment 3: Pages 77 to 98, Exam 3

Each assignment is preceded by a list of Learning Objectives and contains instructions

pertaining to the relevant exam and answer sheet. Read through the objectives before

you begin to study the material. Be sure to complete each assignment in the order

shown and send only your completed answer sheet to the school for evaluation.
