¶ … Psychoanalytic Theory Approach The first step in determining the goals of any counselling is to determine whether the individual needs counselling or other forms of interventions and in this case study, it is apparent that the 24-year-old client whose origin is Guatemala needs counselling. There are several goals that are to be met in the counselling session, one of them being the enhancement of the coping skills of the new mother with a one-year-old son who just lost her job as a loan officer as well as the coping with the new life in the U.S.A. The intervention tat will be used here is strengthening the ties between the mother and the son through designing schedule of activities that will make the social life of the two more interactive and interdependent. This interdependency will make the mother develop close ties that she would not want to see the son suffer hence will do all she can to be strong and get a job to support the baby. The other goal is to facilitate the behavior change of the individual client since this is necessary in reshaping her life to the new realities of the changes in family responsibilities and expectations from the society. The strategy to be used here is the self-efficacy strategy which will target the individual personal judgments that the client will be making from the moment onwards.

The strategy that will be sued in this case is the establishment of skills to overcome barriers that the client will face on daily basis (Hongu Nobuko et.al, 2015).
