The Creation of Hope

Chapter 11 in the textbook emphasizes the importance of hope and   possibility in the counseling process. Clients come into counseling   having tried many different solutions that have failed. In many cases,   they are discouraged and hopeless about resolving their problems in a   way that creates a better life.

In some cases, clients face significant barriers of physical   disability or illness, histories of trauma, occupational   disadvantages, or addictions. Throughout the counseling process the   counselor attempts to create hope. 

Write a 750-1,000-word paper discussing the following:

1. How can the counselor create a sense of hope and possibility     for the client?
2. How does establishing goals help clients to     develop hope?
3. What steps can the counselor take to help     clients identify goals for change?
4. What strategies can a     counselor utilize to help clients commit to change?

Include at least three scholarly references in your paper.
