Antwone Fisher was an individual who endured so much. He faced many challenges from which it seemed impossible to recover. This story was an example of the many things some children can experience. Antwone didn't grow up in a high class home. He did not grow up in a home where his mother and father were present. Instead of having positive role models, he had to live with people who abused him. Looking at Antwone's personality, one can refer to two different theorists such as Bandura and Rogers. Bandura's theory uses the social learning approach. This approach would explain that Antwone was the product of what he had seen. This is demonstrated by the behaviors he displayed. This approach derives from the behaviorist approach (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Bandura would believe that one learns by observing what happens in one's environment and the people surrounding the individual (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Modeling was very important to Bandura (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). In Antwone's childhood, he didn't seem to have many positive influences in his life. Even as a child, Antwone was not born into the ideal situation. When Antwone's mother was pregnant with him, in a penitentiary. This is the place where he was born. Furthermore, his father was murdered. Due to the bad decisions of both his parents, he was left under the supervision of his adoptive mother, Mrs. Tate. His adoptive mother mistreated him by being verbally and physically abusive. Mrs. Tate's daughter also abused Antwone. He was molested by her. As a counselor, one may come to the conclusion that Antwone was only displaying behaviors that he had seen having a child. Bandura confirmed that children who experiment…middle of the paper…take small parts of each theory to help clients (Lazarus & Beutler, 1993). However, there are some concerns when doing this. There are no fixed criteria for building a theory (Lazarus & Beutler, 1993). Above all, theoretical eclecticism can be useful in counseling sessions with a client like Antwone Fisher.
