She graduated at the top of her high school class and was in the top ten students of her graduation class from her college. She reads a lot and reads well. She has had practically no personal or social life since she determined in high school to get a law degree from a law school with excellent credentials. She dated once or twice but felt self-conscious around boys her age and felt more comfortable at home with her family and very comfortable in academic work Joyce has been in law school for a bit over three months. The academic demands of this school are unlike anything else Joyce has experienced, and she is struggling to keep up. Never before has she doubted her ability to do well in school. Now she is unsure of herself. She wonders if she will even pass her course on contract law. There is no one at the law school she feels close to. She lives in a suite with three other women; they sometimes study together. At the beginning of the school year a few men who were fellow law students asked her out, but she has always declined these invitations on the grounds that she could not take the time off from her studies. If pressed Joyce might admit that she is afraid of men and feels unsure how to act around them. Her finances are tight, and her continuance at the school depends on her keeping her scholarship.

The two persons who have got close to Joyce and got to know her are her father and her oldest brother. Her letters to her oldest brother give no hint of her current difficulties.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1) Till now Joyce is surrounded by good people who read and are not involved in any bad habits or professions. Hence she was leading calm and happy life, much secured by her brothers. Firstly I would tell her, that it is ok to hang out with boys as there is something known as mental connect or wave length, which is necessary for growth in any person.

Ans 2) I would tell Joyce to go out or go beyond academics and observe new things. Just plainly observe them without judging anything. Though this may require time but still it is fun as plainly observing new set of things. Sometimes if her elder brither is not having any time, she can confide to her other brother or mom or any friend. Though they may not exactly the same position if her brother and father but still they can help. She needs to get out of zone and start exploring things and even if she doesn't confides it is still ok.

Ans 3) I am very much like Joyce and hence can relate to her situation. Though it is difficuilt to emphtaize witout personal involvement, but still concentrating in her environment, feedback etc it is possible. At the same time, use of some techniques such as cognitive behaviour therapy, humanistic approach - where a counellor sees through the eyes of counselle, Using open open end questions to solve would help me to emphatize more.

Ans 4) It would be be being brave and embracing new experiences without losing personal principles. Hence I would ask initially to define her personal principles or goals, and the framework within which new possibilities or adventures can be tried out such as hanging out with like minded group of decent boys, discussing academics or any novel with them. All these things would help her in being more flexible and knowing more and more about the world.
