The six core conditions are: * Therapist-client psychological contact * Client vulnerability * Client perception * Unconditional positive regard * Empathic understanding * Therapeutic Congruence or Genuineness With Unconditional positive regard, the counsellor accepts the client unconditionally and is non-judgemental. The client is then free to explore all their feelings and emotions without the fear of being judged or rejected. Empathic understanding refers to the counsellors accurately understanding the thoughts, feelings and meanings the clients has and be able to perceive their world as they perceive it. Congruence is the therapist being genuine and authentic towards the client . The therapist is open and transparent to the client.
The therapist needs an attitude of “I’ll accept you as you are.” The therapist must always maintain a positive attitude to the client at all times. Empathy: The ability to understand the other person at a deep level. It involves being able to put yourself in the other person’s position, and understanding them in their own terms, having the ability to understand sensitively and accurately but not
| “EVALUATE THE CLAIM THAT PERSON-CENTRED THERAPY OFFERS THE THERAPIST ALL THAT HE/SHE WILL NEED TO TREAT CLIENTS” | | | | | WELWY 2S-11SHARON FAIRHALL07756082658SHAZZYB66@YAHOO.CO.UK18.06.11WORD COUNT 2664 | | | | | In the world of psychotherapy and counselling there are many types of theories which are used to help people that are in need of counselling. One of these theories is a therapy known as person centred therapy (PCT) developed from the work of the psychologist Carl Rogers. He advanced an approach to psychotherapy and counselling that, at the time (1940’s-1960), was extremely progressive. Originally described as non-directive, this therapy moved away from the idea that the therapist was the expert (Freud) and towards a theory that trusted the native tendency of human beings to find fulfilment in themselves. This is known as the actualising tendency.
Additionally, developing self-awareness helps the client to rediscover meaning in life. Some clients will, however, need a more structured therapy than is typical in a humanistic person-centered approach. One of the strengths of using a humanistic/person-centered approach when working with clients is the warmth and caring of the relationship that (hopefully) develops between counsellor and client. The counsellors active listening and full emotional availability will provide them with a healing environment within which they can explore their emotional experiences safely and without judgment. Central to the therapist's role in client-centred therapy is respecting the clients values as well as maintaining a therapeutic nonjudgmental attitude.
The aim of Person centered counselling is to increase a person’s feelings of self-worth (self esteem) and reduce the incongruence they have when entering therapy, between the ideal and actual self, and help a person become a 'fully funchioning' person (Rogers 1963) reaching their full potential. Here the person is known as a “client” who is valued and respected as an individual and is not labled or diagnosed, it is non directive and allows the client to lead themselves towards development, to actively solve their own problems and at their own pace. It believes in conscious acts and helps to encourage people to think about their feelings and encourage responsibility for their actions in terms of values and lifes meanings, focusing on bringing feelings and emotions into the present and dealing with them. It focuses more on the here and now rather then the past, as this was seen as more useful. However the past is sometimes looked into, gaining insight into how it effects the present.
The therapist experiences unconditional positive regard for the client The therapist accepts the person as they are, puts no condition on valuing them, separates the behaviour from the person. When they know they are not being judged, it allows the client to think perhaps they do not have to judge themselves (Rogers, 1975?) 5. The therapist experiences an empathic understanding of the client’s frame of reference and communicates this experience to the client When the client is empathically heard, they get greater understanding of themselves. (Rogers, 1979) 6.
One impressive tool used was clarity, the structured and choreographed explanation between his personal and professional life, left nothing for the reader to ask for, every paragraph was clear and meaningful; by giving examples and using props to make him even more understandable, and reliable for his audience, Pausch led his readers and listeners right what he wanted. For the critics and media the most powerful rhetorical device during the whole book and during the speech given was persuasion, indeed this book was entirely designed by his writer with two big “head-fakes”; firstly, to convey his listeners and readers about what is the real way to “live life well” without wasting their life time and opportunities, according to his experience as human being and a professional; and secondly, yet more emphasized, to leave an important guide and legacy to his children, letting them know who their father was for the world, and how their father wants they live their life in the best possible way, helping others, and chasing all
Person Centered Therapy and the Case of Fritz Patient Centered Therapy (PCT) assumes that the patient is the expert on themselves. That human beings are naturally positive, trustworthy, capable of growth and they are drawn to towards realizing their full potential. In the right setting, we will become our most creative selves. PCT defies tenants of other therapeutic models, such as psychoanalysis, because it does not put the therapist at the helm. It is the client who chooses direction and the therapist shares the journey as more of a facilitator than a navigator.
Ms. Campbell stated, “Man is good, so there is no reason to repent for wrong-doings since salvation is attained through increasing your spiritual awareness. By attending services and studied the belief system, complete freedom, which we refer to as “Total Freedom” can be attained. With these studies, we grow with the ability to determine our own answers in regards to life and eternity, so we can’t repent and asked to be forgiven from that which we know to be true. We become aware of the fact that we are only a spirit with a body that constantly changes, so our memory and true identity remains
As it was defined, social intelligence is “the ability to understand others, expressions and feelings easily, especially with others showing sensibility” (Hiremath & Chandrappa, 2013, p. 1). Leadership nowadays is an inevitable process which takes part in our lives. It occurs everywhere – at work, at school or university, among friends and relatives. Researchers confirm that leaders “should possess a strong foundation of personal values, principles, or ethics” (Baloglu, n.d., p. 2). Although social intelligence and leadership suppose only positive traits of character, there is no guaranty that these people will always avoid interpersonal challenge.
