In order to be an effective helper and human service professional, one must be open to many different schools of thought. The first theory I have included in my personal model of helping is the Adlerian theory. I feel that having an understanding of the world and other people outside oneself is an important aspect of developing insight regarding how to connect with others and within one's own environment. I also believe family patterns need to be considered, because at times, roles are assigned and "reinforced by societal norms" (Cicirelli, 1994). Patterns need to be considered, because the conditions within a family at times affect behavior development and personality.
The systemic appraoch spends more time investigating how behavior patterns serve others, how it distracts them from forming more meaningful realtionships, and how behvaior reflects the need for a larger adjustment (Corey, 2017). Family Systems theroy is part of the Systemic approach and can be best understood when you have a foundation of other theraputic appraoches that is used within the pratice of Family Systems Theroy. Structural-Strategic Family therapy was first identified as Structural Family Therapy. It presented the belief that in order to understand and change a clients behavior, then the family structure and patterns must be understood and altered (Corey, 2017). Structural Family Therapy aimed to reduce dysfunction and change behaviors by addressing the family system.
We use this technique, especially when we are interviewing families for accommodation. We gain valuable information by watching for body language. We reflect on what the families tell us in order to ensure we have the correct information. Be aware of other people’s emotions Be sympathetic to other
Beyond that I would take the cognitive approach, specifically Albert Ellis’ Rational-Emotive Theory. I find it fascinating and clarifying to think that a person’s point of view or rationale regarding a situation decides how a situation affects them psychologically. I believe in parts of the psychoanalytic approach, as well. Specifically, I believe that a person’s childhood has a lot to do with why they think the way they do. I think that I would probably let a client say all they needed to say about their childhood then after that not let it take over the conversations further.
The goal of the Family Diversity research stream is to document the varied experiences of families as well as the opportunities and challenges that groups such as Aboriginal families or same-sex families face. Families and Society The structure and practice of families described above take place against a broader backdrop. One of the critical tasks for the Institute’s research program will be to illuminate and explore these connections between society and family
It will also consider, from an individual’s perspective, how this effects the personal interaction. More research into other people’s cultural values and beliefs may be required before we cast an internal thought process of judgment on how best to offer advice. 2. Introduction The principles of interpersonal communication are; showing the ability that you are able to learn, relate, to influence, to play and to help others achieve higher awareness of their own personal disclosure skills. ‘Interpersonal communication is the communication that takes place between to persons who have an established relationship; the people are in some way ‘connected’ (De Vito, 2004, page 4).
Counseling Theory Paper Kenyatta J. Spencer COUN 510 Liberty University Abstract My paper explores my counseling theory from a worldview perspective. Individuals that focus on past behaviors and experiences have disorder in their lifestyles. Our decisions and reactions are significant in situations and circumstances that we encounter. Acceptance is something that we desire from the time we enter this world. As we grow, we will experience several relationships in different development stages.
Unit 1 Principles for implementing duty of care in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings 1 Understand how duty of care contributes to safe practice (a) What it means to have a duty of care in one’s own work role A duty of care is a legal obligation to all Health and Social carers and professionals who have to act in the best interests of individuals and others, also not to act or fail to act in a way that results in harm. This duty of care can be a general implied minimum standard of care or can be outlined in different codes of practice or guidelines in various legislation. This duty of care can also be more specific and defined in specific legislation for example Equality Act 2010 or the COSHH regulations 2002. Carers and employers have to ensure that this duty of care is practiced and achieved. Employers adopt this duty of care into their training and operating procedures so it is central to how they conduct their practice.
Application to Vulnerable Populations Watson emphasizes that it is possible to read, study, learn about, even teach and research the caring theory; however, to truly “get it,” one has to personally experience it. Thus the model is both an invitation and an opportunity to interact with the ideas, to experiment with them, and to grow through their application. If one chooses to use the caring perspective as theory, model, philosophy, ethic, or ethos for transforming self and practice or self and system, then asking a variety of ques tions related to one’s view of caring and what it means to be human might help in clarifying the theory’s application (McCance, McKenna, & Boore, 1999; Watson, 1996; Watson & Smith, 2002). Example Nesim is 60 years old, is married, and lives with his family. His primary diagnosis is hypertension.
The question now arises is that why we in general and teachers in particular should reflect on our practice? Firstly, it is required for personal and professional growth. With the help of reflective writings we attempt to enhance our mental capabilities and improve our practice. Also, it helps us to do things right and be able to justify our actions. Reflective writings make us creative and innovative and facilitate us to consider fundamental issues in learning.
