1.      How did the id, ego, and superego works?
a.       Id, is a source of all psychic energy so that Id is a major component in personality. Id is the only component of personality that is present from birth, the aspect of his personality is conscious and includes instinctive and primitive behavior. Id is driven by the principle of pleasure that seeks to fulfill all desires and needs, if it is not fulfilled there will be anxiety and tension. According to Frued, id try to resolve the tension created by the principle of pleasure with the main process involving the process of forming the mental image of the desired object as a way to satisfy needs. For example, when you feel hungry or thirsty, you will immediately fulfill those needs by eating or drinking until the id is fulfilled.
b.      Ego, is a component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality. According to Freud, the ego develops from the id and ensures that the impulse of the id can be expressed in a way that is acceptable in the real world. Ego functions both in the conscious, pre-conscious and unconscious mind. Ego operates according to a secondary process. The purpose of the secondary process is to prevent the occurrence of voltage until the discovery of an object that is suitable for satisfying needs. In other words the function of the ego is to filter out the impulses that Id want to satisfy based on reality.
c.       Superego, is a picture of awareness of the values ​​and morals of the people planted by customs, religion, parents, and the environment. Basically the Superego is a conscience, so the Superego provides guidelines for making judgments, whether right or wrong. Superego is present consciously, pre-conscious and unconscious. Id, Ego and Superego influence each other, the ego together with the superego regulates and directs the fulfillment of id based on the correct rules in society, religion and good or bad behavior.

2.      Explain about birth order and sibling relationship in key concept of Adler therapy!
The Adlerian approach is unique in giving special attention to the relationships between siblings and psychological birth positions in one's family. Adler identifies several psychological positions from which children tend to look at life: the oldest, second of only two, middle, youngest, and only. Birth order is not a deterministic concept but increases the likelihood of individuals to have a certain set of experiences. The actual birth order is less important than an individual's interpretation of his place in the family. Because Adlerians view most human problems as social problems, they emphasize family relationships as the earliest and, perhaps, our most influential social systems. Adler observes that many people wonder why children in the same family are often very different, and he shows that it is a mistake to assume that children from the same family are formed in the same environment. Although siblings have similarities in the family constellation, the psychological situation of each child is different from the others because of the birth order.
a.       The oldest child, Adler believed that when a child is born impacts personality. Based on his theory, for example, the oldest child prone to perfectionism and need for affirmation tends to become intellectual, conscientious and dominant in social settings. Adler attributes this to the child losing the parents' undivided attention and compensating throughout life by working to get it back. In addition, this child may be expected to set an example and be given responsibility for younger siblings.
b.      The second child, Adler describes the second-born child as someone who has a "pacemaker." Since there is always someone who was there first, this child may grow to be more competitive, rebellious and consistent in attempting to be best.
c.       The Middle child, may struggle with figuring out their place in the family and, later, in the world. They are eager for parental praise and thus tend to develop gifts in the arts or academia in order to accomplish this goal. Due to their "middle" status, they also may be the most flexible and diplomatic members of the family.
d.      The Youngest child, may be dependent and selfish due to always being taken care of by family members. However, this child may also possess positive traits of confidence, ability to have fun and comfort at entertaining others.
e.       The Only child, do not have to share their parents' attention. They may have a hard time when they are told no, and school may be a difficult transition as they are not the sole focus of the teacher. On a positive note, Adler believed that, compared to others their age, only children tend to be more mature, feel more comfortable around adults and even do better in intellectual and creative pursuits.
3.      What is the meaning of reorientation and reeducation in phase 4 of Adlerian therapy?
Reorientation: Involves shifting rules of interaction, process, and motivation. This shift is facilitated through changes in consciousness, which often occur during therapy sessions and which are transformed into actions outside the office of therapy.
Reeducation: helps people find new and more functional alternatives. People should be directed to the beneficial side of life. The useful side of life involves belonging and being values, having interest in others and their well-being, courage, acceptance of imperfection, confidence, sense of humor, desire to contribute, and friendly hospitality. Encouragement is the most distinctive Adlerian procedure and is the center of all phases of counseling and therapy. As part of the encouragement process, Adlerians use various cognitive, behavioral, and experiential techniques to help clients identify and challenge self-defeating cognitions, generate alternative perceptions, and use assets, strengths, and resources. Clients are encouraged to "as if" they are the people they want. Clients are asked to capture themselves in the process of repeating old patterns. Commitment is an important part of this process. Adlerian practitioners focus on motivational modification more than behavior change and encourage clients to make holistic changes on the beneficial side of life.
Third Group
4.      Mention 3 proporsitions of view of human nature in existential therapy!
3 proporsitions of view of human nature in this therapy are:
a.       The capacity for self-awareness
b.      Freedom and responsibility
c.       Striving for identity and relationship to others
5.      Mention and explain the phases of existential therapy?
a.       The initial phase of counseling, the therapist helps clients identify and clarify their assumptions about the world. Clients are invited to define and question how they perceive and understand their existence. They examine their values, beliefs, and assumptions to determine their validity. This is a difficult task for many clients because at first they can present their problems as a result almost entirely of external causes. They may focus on what other people "make them feel" or on how other people are largely responsible for their actions or inaction. Counselors teach them how to reflect on their own existence and to examine their role in creating their problems in life.
b.      The middle phase of existential counseling, helped clients more fully examine the current source and value system authority. This process of self-exploration usually leads to new insights and some restructuring of values ​​and attitudes. Individuals get a better idea of ​​life like what they think is worth living and develop a clearer sense of their internal assessment process.
c.       The last phase of existential counseling, focuses on helping people take what they learn about themselves and make it happen. Transformation is not limited to what happens during hours of therapy. Hours of therapy are small contributions to one's new involvement with life, or lifelong training. The goal of therapy is to allow clients to find ways to apply values ​​that are examined and internalized concretely between sessions and after therapy is stopped. Clients usually find their strengths and find ways to place them to serve a purposeful life.
Fourth Group
6.      How is the view of human nature based on Person-Centered therapy?
View of human nature in this therapy is a basic sense of trust in the client's ability to move forward constructively if there are conditions that encourage growth. Rogers argues that people can be trusted, a lot of reason, able to understand themselves and direct themselves, able to make constructive change, and able to live an effective and productive life. When a therapist can experience and communicate reality, support, caring, and non-judgmental understanding, a significant change in the client is likely to occur.
7.      How the therapist can receive the client based on Person-Centered therapy?
The therapist can receive the client if the therapists do not believe the purpose of therapy is just to solve the problem. Instead, the goal is to help clients in their growth process so that clients can better solve problems when they identify them. Then the therapist provides a conducive climate to help individuals struggle towards self-actualization. Before clients can work towards that goal, clients must first remove the masks they wear, which they develop through the socialization process. The client realizes that clients lose contact with themselves by using facades. In the climate of security in therapy sessions, they also realize that there are more authentic ways.
Fifth Group
8.      What is the Gestalt therapy emphasized using the “What” and “How” questions rather than using the “Why” question?
 ‘What’ and ‘How’ questions are used so that the client is more precise in expressing what answers client realized when the therapy session began. This question will help the counselor to deepen the client's awareness of these body thoughts, feelings, sensations, or insights through related experiments for the client. Because, the client in Gestalt therapy has been influenced by cultural messages that has accepted before. The counselor asks clients to examine introjection to assess their usefulness in their current situation. Even though the client may decide to maintain the valued cultural aspects, the client is in a position to modify or reject other cultural expectations. Of course, this will be done when this problem arises in the foreground of his work.
Sixth Group
9.      Explain the basic goal of Reality therapy!
The basic goal of reality therapy is to help client learn better ways to fulfill their needs associated with getting connect or reconnect with the people they have chosen to put in their quality world, including achievement, power of inner control, freedom and fun. The basic human needs serve to make focus treatment planning and setting short- and long-term goals.
10.  Explain about the cycle of counseling in Reality therapy!
Cycle of counseling consist of two major components: Creating the counseling environment and implementing specific procedures that lead to changes in behavior. The art of counseling is to tighten the components together by directing clients to evaluate their lives and decide to move in a more effective direction. The steps to blend the components in the counseling process:
1.      Creating a working relationship with clients.
2.      Exploring client's wants, needs, and perceptions.
3.      Clients explore their total behavior and make their own evaluation of how effective they are in getting what they want.
4.      If clients decide to try new behavior, they make plans that will lead to change, and they commit themselves to those plans.
Although the concept seems simple, to practice it requires great skill and creativity. In theory, the concept will be used by various counselors, but how to apply it can differ depending on the style and personal characteristics of the counselor. The method applied to the client adapts to what the client presents.
