Robert Johnson, a 55-year-old man, is married with two adult children and five grandchildren. He is the assistant president of a large bank. In the first session, he tells you that it is becoming more difficult for him to hide his homosexuality. He has kept his homosexuality a secret his entire life. He knew he preferred men when he married his wife thirty years ago, but he thought he needed to get married to hide the fact that he was gay. During his marriage, he has had affairs with many men. Because he has been very discrete, his wife and family do not suspect that he is homosexual and that he has had several affairs.
Now he is having a relationship with a man he loves and with whom he wants to grow old. Mr. Johnson’s lover threatens to leave him if Mr. Johnson does not get a divorce and makes their relationship public. Mr. Johnson is afraid because if he makes his homosexuality public, he may lose his job and the respect of his children.
He tells you that he is worrying so much about his over leaving that he is unable to concentrate at work. Being the vice president of the bank means a lot to him. He has worked very hard and sacrificed a lot to obtain this position. He does not want to lose it.

2. Examine and discuss the psychotherapeutic modalities you would choose to use to treat this client. Choose between Psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, gestalt, behavior, cognitive behavior, choice/reality, feminist, and postmodern therapy. You may combine therapies (integrative approach), but you must justify the combination. Be sure to include a list of the specific techniques (therapeutic processes and content), not just the theory you would use for this client. Be specific in how you would treat each client.
A study examined lower life satisfaction, active coping, and cardiovascular disease risk factors (diastolic and systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and circumferences) in older African Americans over the phases of an 18-month church-based intervention, using a quasi-experimental design. Participants (n = 89) were 45 years of age and older from six churches (three treatments, three comparisons) in North Florida. Lower life satisfaction had a persistent unfavorable effect on weight variables. Active coping showed a direct beneficial effect on selected weight variables. However, active coping was adversely associated with blood pressure and did not moderate the association between lower life satisfaction and cardiovascular risk factors. The intervention had a beneficial moderating influence on the association between lower life satisfaction and weight variables and on the association between active coping and these variables. Yet, this pattern did not hold for the association between active coping and blood pressure. The relationship of lower life satisfaction and selected cardiovascular risk factors and the positive effect of active coping were established, but findings regarding blood pressure suggest further study is needed.
1. What are the implications of the study? Explain why this information is important. Who is it important to and why?
Consider these examples of research findings:
1. High satisfaction with one’s direct supervisor leads to lower levels of employee turnover. In other words, employees who are highly satisfied with their direct supervisor are less likely to leave an organization than employees who are dissatisfied with their direct supervisor (DeConinck, 2009).
2. High levels of parental reading are associated with faster cognitive development in young children. In other words, children who are read to more by their parents show faster cognitive development than children who are read to less often (National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, 2007)
3. The experience of being socially excluded leads to increases in aggressive behavior. Research has found that when people are excluded by others, they are more likely to behave aggressively, even to people who did not initially exclude them (Twenge, Baumeister, Tice, & Stucke, 2001)
4. Defendants who wear glasses are less likely to be convicted by juries as being guilty of committing violent crimes (Brown, Henriquez, & Group, 2008).
Describe a potential mediator and moderator that could apply to each research finding. Please
