Topic > The Story of Antwone Fisher - 819

The Story of Antwone Fisher is a very intriguing and touching story. Antwone Fisher was a resilient individual and had endured so much in his life. As a child, he did not live in the best environment. He lacked the guidance that it is recommended that a child should have. There are two theories that can help explain Antwone Fisher. These two theories are Bandura's Model Theory and Roger's Self-Actualization Theory. Bandura believed that the individual learns by observing others and their environment (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). He believed in the modeling effect (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Antwone had no positive influences on his childhood. He was born in a penitentiary. Not only was his father killed, but his mother was in prison. As a result, he grew up in a foster home. His foster mother was Mrs. Tate. She was verbally and physically abusive. His daughter also had a negative impact on his life. Your daughter molested Antwone. Bandura could have linked his current behavior to what he witnessed as a child. According to some research conducted by Bandura, children who witnessed aggressive behavior also exhibited aggressive behavior (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). This is evident in the life of Antwone Fisher. He was always involved in physical fights. Additionally, Bandura focused on self-efficacy. Self-efficacy means that the individual will feel worthy of the best (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). “People with low self-efficacy feel helpless, unable to exert control over life events” (Schultz & Schultz, 2013, p. 338). Even though Antwone joined the navy, he was still haunted by his past. His role models have taught him not to value intimacy with another... middle of paper... The most appropriate form of therapy is person-centered therapy (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Dr. Davenport would also make sure that Antwone accepts himself as he is. Those who are entering the consulting field will see this film from a different perspective. It provides examples of what a consultant should and should not do. In the future, you might meet a customer like Antwone and you have to be ready to help him. The client should feel comfortable with the consultant. Positive results should emerge from the counseling sessions. References Black, T., Haines, R., Washington, D., Fisher, A.Q., Danna, M., Luke, D., Bryant, J., ...
