The primary goal of this paper is to enable you to analyze your background and beliefs and how they influence your interaction with others on a personal and professional level. As we live and work in a diverse society, it is important that we become aware of our history, values, possible biases, and prejudices. These socializing influences have contributed to how we think, act, feel, and interact with others who think, act, or feel differently.
The purpose of this paper is to encourage you to clarify your own identities, values and beliefs and to begin to think critically about how they impact your ability to function effectively in a diverse environment. It is a given that confidentiality and non-judgmental attitudes will be maintained by all participants.
This paper should be no less than 5 pages, but no more than 7 pages consisting of:
Section I: Background
Describe the development of your beliefs and attitudes towards difference (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, abilities). Include how you believe they were shaped by factors such as:
Ethnic or racial heritage
Gender and sexual orientation
Socioeconomic group
Country/ Region 
Religious beliefs or affiliation
Socio-political influences
What kind of messages (spoken or unspoken) did you get about people who were similar to you and those who were different from you in those categories?
Section II: Current Assessment
Describe your current beliefs and attitudes towards difference (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, abilities). Respond to the following: 
Have you chosen to retain those of your upbringing or have you modified or replaced them? 
Identify and discuss biases you now have regarding groups different from yourself (those distinguished from your ethnic or racial heritage, gender, sexual orientation, abilities, income, religious beliefs or affiliation). 
How do those biases influence the ways in which you interact with members of those groups? 
Were you particularly interested in or surprised by any of the information/feelings you may have uncovered while completing this assignment?

I attached a few sample papers to show what the assignment should look like. I also attached all the references to be used. For this assignment, I will use my field instructor (supervisor) who was my supervisor during my social work internship at a school. Most of the information is in the PDF book attached. The paper should encompass the manner and quality of how the supervisor discharged the administrative (7), educational (7), and supportive (7) aspects of supervision with examples provided for each function. In addition, the paper should identify and examine the general style and techniques of the supervisor (6), the methods of supervision utilized (6), and a brief analysis of the execution of specific tasks such as individual conferences, meetings, and performance evaluations (7). For purposes of privacy and confidentiality, please do not identify the supervisor by name or organization.

Select a client from your fieldwork (Teen group IOP is mine) who might benefit from cognitive/behavioral treatment. If you do not have an appropriate client, consider using someone you know, or yourself. Describe your client’s presenting problem. Conduct an assessment identifying the target problems and discussing the methods used to collect your data (logs, journals, daily record or automatic thoughts, standardized tests). Do a literature review and summarize the state of evidence regarding the use of CBT for your client’s presenting problem and sociodemographic characteristics (minimum 3 references; no more than one page). 
Develop a cognitive case conceptualization based on your client’s presenting issues and your assessment. Identify the relevant cognitive errors in your clients thinking and how you determined these errors. Provide examples of thought records or other examples of how you established the presence of these errors with your client. Next, describe what underlying intermediate and core beliefs you feel are reflected in your client’s thinking and where they come from. End with a description of the CBT techniques and strategies you would use to modify your client’s core beliefs and a rationale for why you believe the identified techniques/strategies would be helpful.

Overview
In this assignment, you will create a proposal detailing and building upon the information presented in the last two assignments.

Imagine that you are a licensed clinical social worker with a specialization in family therapy. You have been working with the Perez family, a Latin American family, for 6 months. The family comprises Jose, the 35-year-old father; Suzanne, the 34-year-old mom; Jack, the eldest son; Kale, the middle child; and Marco, the youngest son. The purpose of the therapy centers on the difference in parenting styles expressed by Jose and Suzanne. Jose subscribes to a hands-on and aggressive form of discipline, while Suzanne believes that discussions and consequences for actions (that is, taking away privileges in the home) is a more modern way to parent their three sons. In a recent family session, Kale shared that the pronoun he did not apply to himself. Kale said, “I am gender non-conforming.”
Based on Kale’s announcement in the session, how would you employ the strategies and training recommendations in this week’s readings to help support the Perez family? As you consider your approach, remember that the parenting style of each parent is markedly different.
