In this assignment, you are being asked to write a short paper comparing Skinner’s theoretical perspective to that of Freud and Rogers. For help comparing Skinner to Rogers, see reading 23 in your Personality Reader. For help comparing Skinner to Freud, go to Psychinfo and find the 2007 American Psychologist article “Looking for Skinner and Finding Freud” by Geir Overskeid.Scenario: The client, Adam, in this scenario is an African American male who identifies as gay. Adam has been having relationship problems with his partner and is coming to the community center for therapy and advice on working through his relationship issues. The client has a history of abuse from former partner and father as a child. He has never completed any therapy sessions or opened up about his past trauma and this is the first appointment with the center. The social worker assigned to Adam is Cindy, a Caucasian female who is of a Southern Baptist religion. She has been a social worker for one year and has never encountered a LGBTQ client. Cindy thinks the LGBTQ is an abomination and expresses to her boss while reading the intake her anxiety and disgust with Adam lifestyle. Adam arrives for his first appointment and storms out of the center after Cindy asks if he has ever read what the bible says about homosexuality as the first intake question.
