Your Assignment is to write a 2–3 page paper (400–750 words) based on the following:
Have someone pretend to be a client; this person should be available to participate in several more interviews for Assignments over the entire course. If necessary, you may be the pretend client; however, you will probably find it more valuable if someone else is the client. This individual should identify for himself or herself a psychological issue or struggle to be discussed during his/her participation.
Go to the computerized “therapist” called Eliza found at http://www.cyberpsych.org/eliza/ . Be aware that Eliza and the responses she offers are only meant to give you an idea of how a therapist might respond. Your interaction with her is meant to give you an idea of how someone might respond if they are “required” to follow a certain set of guidelines while conducting therapy.
Have the “client” spend about 15–30 minutes interacting with Eliza. Tell him/her to be sure to use simple sentences. Meanwhile, in a least intrusive manner, you should observe and take notes on the interaction between the client and Eliza, so they are prepared to answer questions when completing the written portion of the Assignment. You should also ask the “client” for feedback on his or her experience of interacting with Eliza.
Note: At this time, you should not further interview the client about his/her psychological issue or struggle. The assignment should be based on the client’s interview with Eliza, and client feedback about interacting with Eliza.
You should then answer the following questions in order to complete the written portion of the Assignment, while also citing at least two (2) scholarly sources:
Each paper should include:
