1. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (1926-2004) (Swiss
American psychiatrist )
A Swiss psychiatrist, Kübler-Ross first introduced her
five stage grief model in her book On Death and
Dying.
Kübler-Ross’ model was based off her work with
terminally ill patients and has received much criticism
in the years since.
2. Clienthood and acompnaying issues
Five Stages of
Grief
1.DENIAL –conscious or unconscious
decision to refuse to admit that
something is true. Several forms of
denial exist, including denial of
fact,impact, awareness,cycle and denial.
2.ANGER– an emotional and physical
act in which the patients attempts to
place blame patients often repots a lack
of trust with their treating physician.
Physician themselves could develop
anger as a response.
3.BARGAINING– a negotiative process
in which patient attempts to postpone or
distance themselves from the reality of a
situation.
4.DEPRESSION– a feeling of loss of
control or hopelessness with a
situation .
5.ACCEPTANCE– a feeling of stability
or resignation as the patient becomes
an active participants in their life.
Accompanying issues;
DELAYED GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT-Children with
moderate to severe CP, often lag behind
in growth and development. The
muscles and limbs affected by CP tend
to be smaller than normal, especially in
children with spastic hemiplegia, whose
limbs on the affected side of the body
may not grow as quickly or as long as
those on the normal side.
SEIZURE DISORDER-As many as half
 of all children with CP have one or more
seizures. Children with both cerebral
palsy and epilepsy are more likely to
have an intellectual disability.

LEARNING DISABILITY-Approximately
30 – 50 percent of individuals with CP
will be intellectually impaired. Mental
impairment is more common among
those with spastic quadriplegia than in
those with other types of cerebral palsy.

SPINAL DEFORMITIES AND

OSTEOARTHRITISDeformities of the
spine – curvature (scoliosis), humpback
(kyphosis), and saddle back (lordosis) –
are associated with CP. Spinal
deformities can make sitting, standing,
and walking difficult and cause chronic
back pain. Pressure on and
misalignment of the joints may result in
osteoporosis (a breakdown of cartilage
in the joints and bone enlargement).

IMPAIRED VISION-Many children with

CP have strabismus, commonly called
“cross eyes,” which left untreated can
lead to poor vision in one eye and can
interfere with the ability to judge
distance. Some children with CP have
difficulty understanding and organizing
visual information.

ETC.
The state or condition of being a client; clientship.

 4. Counselling (SW Helping process)
 The process that occurs when a client and
counsellor set aside time to explore
difficulties which may include the stressful or
emotional feelings of the client.
 The act of helping the client to see
things more clearly, possibly from a
different view-point. This can enable the
client to focus on feelings, experiences or
behaviour, with a goal of facilitating positive
change.
 A relationship of trust. Confidentiality is
paramount to successful counselling.
Professional counsellors will usually explain
their policy on confidentiality. They may,
however, be required by law to disclose
information if they believe that there is a risk
to life.

HELPING PROCESS
The initial contact stage (BEGINNING
PHASE)- is the starting
point for the collection and assessment
of information. Through documentation,
the
professional can record the initial
contact. This stage is, therefore,
important as it enables the
helper to obtain helpful information
concerning the client.
The second phase (MIDDLE PHASE)-
in the helping process is the planning
phase. It consists of stages
such as developing a complete picture
of the client, plan development and
service
arrangement. This phase is important as
helps the professional to identify how
best to
approach the client problem and what
services should be provided (McClam &
Woodside,
The third stage (ENDING PHASE)- is
the implementation phase. The
implementation stage entails
providing and coordinating services,
problem resolution and monitoring
(McClam &
Woodside, 2011). This stage is
important as it encompasses the start of
the service delivery,
the efficacy of the service and the
achievement of the initially identified
outcomes. In all
three phases, case review,
documentation and report writing is
undertaken.
