Collaborative therapy uses methods that are related to solution-based therapy (Gehart, 2014). However, the philosophical foundations, viewpoint, roles of the intervention, stance of the therapist, and political issues are different. Politics- with the clients input and thoughts politics are used in a tentative manner Therapeutic relationship- this facilitates the role of the therapist Therapeutic process- there are no interventions but therapist facilitates a specific process Philosophical foundations- Uses postmodernism, social constructionism, and hermeneutics To shift the meaning the therapist listens and learns with the client who is considered an equal, instead of the professional having all the answers. The therapists has a genuine …show more content…
Giving them the power of the problem. When the mother in the video discloses her inner dialogue about her past attempts at therapy not be successful, Sue who is the other therapist compliments on the mothers capability to be true with herself and on her resilience. This stimulates the client to talk more about her daughter and less on herself. While having a conversation with the mother, Harlene made the client feel safe and that her feelings of inadequacy were valid and not strange. This allowed the client to lead the dialogical process, which helped the client to express what she wanted the therapist to …show more content…
These comments help in changing the shift of focus through the video. By listening for the pause in the conversation Haelene was able to insert appropriate unusual comments to improve the discussion. Harlene expresses her inner private thoughts allowing more control for the client. In the recovery model assessing the client’s worldview is similar they involve understanding the worldview or perspective by looking at how they relate to cultural backgrounds, interactions, and life experiences. Allowing the client to be in control of the dialogue of the therapy and conversation, is a philosophical stance of social constructing views and of the recovery model. For the client to benefit from the recovery model there needs to be commitment to aiding the individual from everyone involved. This includes professionals, friends, and family. The client will succeed when given resources and services that help with the new way of life. By using the collaborative therapy approach the therapist is a facilitator and not the one in charge, allowing a positive therapist and client relationship, and build trust. The client is the expert and drives the
...In this specific style, the therapist tends to have the most success in gaining knowledge of the patients feelings of inadequacy, fear of intimacy, and low self esteem.
The counseling session should be centered on the client and their understanding of their world and/or problems not heavily weighted on the counselor interpretation of the client’s situation. The role of the counselor is to examine a problem needs changing and discover options in overcoming their problem. Bringing about change can help change the client’s narrative on their problem in the future and/or on life in the process.
Another aspect of my personal theory comes from Carl Rogers and his Person Centered theory. My greatest take away from Rogers is his theory of unconditional positive regard. I am in agreement that an individual in counseling must feel as if they are being accepted and not judged by their therapist. Often individuals who seek counseling are fearful to begin with so as a therapist it is important to make this client feel at ease and understand that they are in a safe environment where they will not be judged. Once you can establish this with a client I believe that the relationship with that client will be more successful and the ...

Carl Rogers and Gloria 's session was a learning lesson and evidence that the developments in life overtime can have a direct impact on how we evolve as human beings. Various aspects, topics and behaviors that were viewed in this clip reminded me of scenarios that I see on a weekly basis. I myself have struggled with the fear of making the "wrong" decisions, I have seen relationships go astray due to inadequate trust, honesty, and transparency, and I have witnessed immature disagreements turn into full blown arguments and rage simply due to the absence of active listening and the list can go on. This session enabled the viewers the opportunity to see themselves from the client 's perspective which would involve seeing things through her eyes and trying to understand why she feels the way she does based off of signs such as both verbal and non-verbal communication, her diction, body language,
...p their own solutions to problems. Clients may need some guidance, education, or direction depending on their abilities and how the therapy is going. It is then that I want to be able to help them feel more empowered and recognize that they can make changes with effort on their part.
However, recovery is based on core aspects such as hope and meaning whereby an individual tries to overcome discrimination, stigma and trauma attributed to the diagnosis of a mental illness. Also, it requires a person to assume the control over his or her life and empowered to make his or her own decision in full engagement. There are two types of recovery, i.e. clinical recovery and personal recovery. Therefore, it is vital for an individual to have a clear understanding of the two as well as identify the differences since recovery is considered to have a medical meaning. According to Rethinks, clinical recovery is a treatment outcome emerged from the designated experts of mental health professionals which encompasses the restoration of social functioning and getting rid of symptoms, hence making an individual to get back to normal. (Unger,
While her therapist helps her with her father, the therapist unintentionally improves her relationship with her husband. At Southeastern Louisiana University’s common read, Smith explains, “I think I was able to meet him [her husband] because I cleared up a lot of silly stuff through therapy” (Smith). This confirmation allows the reader to receive a higher understanding of the effect therapy impacted Tracy K. Smith.
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate my reflection and understanding in the Role of the Mental Health Nurse in an episode of care supporting and promoting the recovery of service users. According to the National institute for Mental Health (2004) recovery is a process to restore something or return to a state of wellness, is an achievement of quality of life that is acceptable to the person (Ryan 2012).
To explain, the client should not be inferior to the counselor; the environment should be two people discussing an issue and ways to make a difference. A therapist should occasionally share similar experiences; therefore, sessions should make clients feel comfortable. To add, the client should feel safe due to the positive atmosphere the therapist brings to the session. The goal is to finally give the client a chance to be heard, regularly people are muted and feel like they are insignificant to society. Similarly, to Person-centered therapy where communication with the client is unconditionally positive. The therapist needs to genuinely care about the client needs for them to fully express themselves successfully. Furthermore, clients should be encouraging to make their own choices which model how to identify and use power responsibly. Hence, this will help the client feel more confident in everyday life when making a meaningful
The client stated that she came to therapy because she has been feeling really lonely and feeling as though that she is not enough since the death of her father. After the death of her father, her mother did not pay her any attention; she understood that her mother was grieving, especially when her grandfather passed a year later. I stated that the frequent death that surrounded her mother, seem to have caused her mother to distance herself from her. She responded “yes, and it even gotten worse when my mom started to date and eventually marry my stepfather”. She mentioned that once her little sister was born, she became jealous and envious. I emphasized with her by stating that she must have felt as though her little sister was going to take the attention that she sought from her mother. After confirming that her mother paid more attention to her sister and stepfather, she mentioned that during this time she began to cut herself in places that no one would notice. The pain did not take the feeling away, but she wanted to know that if she could still feel pain after the thought of losing everything. However, the only person who paid her any attention during this time, was her grandmother. Her grandmother showed her the love that her mother nor “father figure” never showed her. I stated, “the love that your grandmother showed was not the love you were
.... This may push people out of the recovery process before they are ready and it challenges empowerment aspects and structural problems. It has also been argued that the recovery model attempts to hide the dominance of the medical model. This marginalizes those who do not fit into a recovery narrative. Professionals have said that majority of the people who a serious illness, such as schizophrenia, require both psychotropic and psychosocial interventions to help cure their symptoms during a crisis (Rosenson, 1993). Therefore, the recovery model has been criticized for its emphasis away from medicalization. In addition, it can be argued that that while the approach may be a useful for corrective measures, institutional and personal difficulties make it essential that there be sufficient ongoing effective support with stress management and coping in daily life.
The counselor accomplishes the above by expressing empathy, developing discrepancies, going along with resistance and supporting self-efficacy. Moreover, the counselor guides the client toward a solution that will lead to permanent posi...
...ential impediment to postmodern and CBT interventions is practitioner incompetence. Psychological harm to clients is a potential danger of interventions implemented by untrained or inexperienced therapists. Likewise, the attitude and professional maturity of the practitioner are crucial to the value of the therapeutic process. In both approaches, whether taking on the role of teacher or collaborator, the therapist’s stance is one of positive regard, caring, and being with the client. While techniques and therapeutic styles may vary between and within the postmodern and CBT counseling approaches, they both enlist the client’s diligent participation and collaboration throughout the stages of therapy to accomplish positive therapeutic outcomes.
Robin’s therapist understands, and connects with her. Dr. Krumboltz is in the moment with his client. These intervention strategies allowed for the client Robin, to realize other options in coping with the issues of her difficult mother-in-law. As a result of the effective session with Dr.Krumboltz, Robin realizes that she is open to change and confronting her mother-in-law. I enjoyed watching Dr. Krumboltz’s in action. He comes across as personable and
