7. A student has recently been referred to me for counseling by a resident hall<br />
director. The student’s behavior in the hall has been marked by numerous<br />
childlike responses, and both the resident assistant and fellow residents have<br />
talked to the director about him or her. It was recommended that the student talk<br />
with me about his or her behavior. To help this student change his or her present<br />
behavior, I will probably:<br />
a. Encourage the student to identify with a fellow student whom he or shed<br />
respects and who demonstrates acceptable behavior.<br />
b. Clearly state a single course <strong>of</strong> action for the student and the consequences<br />
for not following that course.<br />
c. Ensure that the student has a choice between various courses <strong>of</strong> action and is<br />
able to explore those actions before making a decision.<br />
d. Clarify the need for and direction <strong>of</strong> a change in behavior, but leave the<br />
decision to change or not change up to the student.<br />
e. Ensure that the student has total freedom from others’ influence in choosing a<br />
course <strong>of</strong> action and has the support <strong>of</strong> others once he or she chooses.<br />
