  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Mary was referred to a counsellor as she was simply run down and suffering depression and anxiety. Mary is a lawyer, maintaining a full-time job, married and has a daughter. Mary's mother relies on Mary for everything, even though she is fit and healthy and can do things for herself without impairment. She has Mary driving her to appointments, helping to clean her home, take her shopping, etc. Mary's sister, who won't do a thing or talk with Mary, only thinks Mary is chasing all their mothers money for inheritance.
• 24.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Marys husband worked part-time, did little around the house, left cooking for Mary and most of the cleaning. Mary was missing out on spending time with her daughter, even though her daughter constantly demanded playtime from Mary. Her daughter required to be cared for with duties, cleaning her room, meals, clothes washed, etc. Her daughter blamed Mary for not spending any time with her to play, as all she did was work and help others.
• 25.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Mary was snowed down and behind at work, felt inadequate and was hoping her partners didn't catch on that she was behind. For every client she completed, another two would hit her desk. She knew that it was coming that she could no longer hide her failure to complete her work from the firms partners. She felt like an imposter, and was just waiting to be discovered. She has been passed over for a pay rise, she was constantly criticized for forgetting about important meetings.
• 26.

  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  "Damn it", Shirley states, "I forgot to bring the questionnaires again." This has been going on for two weeks now, Shirley failing to bring in the questionnaires she claimed to have completed. Regardless, Shirley's behavior was beginning to state she was depressed. What was clear is that Shirley feared others, which she accepted, though her anger showed, which she couldn't admit to.
• 29.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Shirley was in her 30's and worked in a Government office. The floor was all open cubicles, and office politics and gossip was prevalent at all times. Shirley dwelt on the office politics, from who was being promoted, who got the cubicle or office with a view, every piece of gossip. During counseling, Shirley smiled when discussing office politics, admitting to deceptive maneuvering behind her supervisors and colleagues back. When asked if she has ever raised her issues or concerns with her supervisors, she had not done so. She claimed it was better to do things "behind the scenes" to achieve her purpose.
• 30.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Basically, Shirley was ignoring some tasks, others she was doing poorly, knowing she wouldn't get picked to do them again, and some she would sneakily palm off to co-workers, getting them to do it and claim it as her own. The only problem with all this behavior, was that Shirley was consistently passed over for promotion, even though she had near the most knowledge about the organizations inner workings. She was emotionally close with nobody, and slighted anyone who would show resentment towards her.
• 31.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Her private life was no different. She was single since a divorce years earlier, feared rejection so she didn't date, and even though one of her best traits was making others laugh, she used it to keep people at arms length. Shirley had no friends as a result. Shirley simply feared facing people, she feared confrontation even when she knew she was right, or felt attacked, and instead she would bottle up her emotion and get them back when the time was right, where she could not be held accountable.  ???

  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Jason owns a local car dealership, employing 10 others as part of sales and support staff. Jason is a snappy dresser, confident, full of self-esteem. The problem though is that Jason's wife has given him an ultimatum, seek counseling or she is leaving him due to his aggressive behavior.
• 34.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Jason was pretty dissatisfied with life. He was under constant pressure running his business, dealing with difficult suppliers, finding adequate employee's who didn't require constant supervision to do their job. As a result, Jason found himself often losing his temper at work, which came home with him as well. He would order his employee's around, micro-managing. He would shout at suppliers. His anger got that bad, he even got aggressive with some customers and removed them from his premises for being difficult.
• 35.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Jason bossed his wife and kids around, ordering and demanding from them. When he wasn't yelling, he would place "no talk" time on his family, no answering anything they had to say and calling it his quiet time, completely ignoring them. Jason dismissed his wife's views and her feelings.
• 36.
  MODELS OF HUMANBEHAVIOR  Jason communicated to his counselor that he knew his family was now going around him, avoiding him, doing things without consulting with him or involving him, due to his anger. He was over-protective of his children, trying to protect them too much, which was in itself aggressive and abusive to the realities of the world. To Jason, he needed control, and if he didn't have it, then he had to threaten others until he got it. ???
