Developmental Influences and Considerations Application

Research has shown that for most people, problems associated with addiction often begin during adolescence. The unique developmental processes of this stage put individuals at a higher risk for substance misuse, and can have long-term detrimental effects on both substance and behavioral regulation. Research also indicates that challenging life experiences—such as abuse or traumatic loss—also increase risk of addiction, though not with the same impact across the lifespan. What developmental considerations might aid a counselor in better understating the role and impact of developmental stage on addiction?

For this Assignment, please select one of the three clients from the case studies provided in the Learning Resources this week.

Complete a 3- to 4-page paper in which you do the following:

· Provide a brief conceptualization of the client, including developmental considerations.

· Identify at least two risk factors relating to client’s developmental stage, and how you might address these using stage-focused interventions and goals.

· Describe how a developmental lens can inform your efforts to effectively facilitate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

· Justify your response with specific references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature
