Assignment: ystemic and environmental factors that affect human development, functioning, and behavior

How would a professional counselor encourage these older guardians in their new roles?
This discussion question meets the following CACREP Standard: 2.F.3.f. Systemic and environmental factors that affect human development, functioning, and behavior.

I. INTRODUCTION OF DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS
A. The prevalence of dissociative disorders in the general population is as high as 18% (Fine, 2012, p. 334).
B. There are three fundamental dissociative ways of responding to a traumatic experience: detach from it (depersonalization/derealization), forget it (amnesia), or separate the memory of the experience from one’s present identity (dissociative flashback, DID) (Spiegel, Lewis-Fernández, Lanius, Vermetten, Simeon, & Friedman, 2013, p. 307). Comment by Dr. Dumont: For six or more authors, cite the primary author followed by ‘et al.’ for the first and all following mentions of the work (Chapter 6, 6.12, p. 175).

iii. Significant distress in different areas of functioning
B. Dissociative Amnesia
1. Characteristics from DSM-5
i. Amnesia involves a deficit in functioning episodic memory such that information that was presumably encoded cannot be retrieved under normal circumstances (APA, 2013, p. 297). Comment by Dr. Dumont: These should be lower-case letters
