Sam, a high-achieving senior at Ridgemont High, faces declining grades and social withdrawal, prompting concerns from his parents. Four psychologists from different perspectives—cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and systemic—would approach his counseling uniquely. The cognitive-behavioral psychologist may assess Sam's thoughts and behaviors with specific questions about his feelings and coping mechanisms. The psychodynamic approach would explore past experiences and emotions. The humanistic psychologist would focus on self-actualization and personal growth. Finally, the systemic psychologist would examine family dynamics, assessing relationships that could affect Sam's mood and behavior.

Sam is a senior at Ridgemont High School. He has always had exceptional grades until last quarter, when his GPA went from a 3.8 to a 2.5. He has stopped playing with the band and is no longer going out with his friends on weekends. He eats sporadically, and is increasingly moody. His parents are considering taking him to see a psychologist. Describe the focus his counseling would take from four different psychologists if each of those psychologists worked from a different perspective. What kinds of questions or tests would they give Sam?
