Describe how the cognitive approach has been applied to RET The cognitive approach believes that we are information processors. Our thinking and the way we process and interpret events can affect our behaviour particularly our mood. Therefore rational emotional therapy is linked to the approach because its attempts to change the way an individual interprets and thinks about certain events. Ret was devised by albert ellis in the 1950’s. it tries to tackle mustabatory thinking (the thinking that you must be good at everything and like by everyone) by trying to make the patient think more rationally about situations.
Counselling/ counselling ideas may help to cope with the challenges of ‘change’ ‘The more I am willing to be myself in all this complexity of life […] the more I am willing to understand and accept the realities in myself and in the other person […]” Rogers (1961). In order to tackle changes in a client’s life, it is important for the counsellor themselves to be self-aware and have an understanding of others’ values, beliefs and attitudes although they may conflict with their own. The counsellor is there to help the client adapt to these changes, helping clients to push out old information and take in new- this however is also an aspect of change which the counsellor has to help the client pursue whilst keeping ethical and professional boundaries. Changes are accompanied by strong emotions, both negative and positive and counselling is able to support the transition from one state to another. When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004).
Furthermore, by lending an empathetic ear and accurately identifying the root cause of problems, the plan builds relevant solutions to meet employee needs, enabling enhanced performance. Another strength is boosting the workplace atmosphere through optimism. The plan has some weaknesses in addition to the above listed strengths. For instance, an approach using emotional intelligence attributes may be perceived as invasive or personal, resulting in employee resistance (Pearman, 2011). Also, some employees may not be capable or willing to transition to a positive mindset.
Humans naturally form social groups and identities. These groups may have common conscious or unconscious values or morals. With this individuals are exposed and may become vulnerable to influencing factors encouraging them to conform or adopt the group values and beliefs. In the helping profession, in order for the counsellor to support the client effectively the counsellor must show and feel acceptance regardless of the issue; even if it contradicts or disagrees with their morals and values. On occasion there are self-awareness unexplored problem areas that the counsellor encounters with a client.
It assumes that human problems come from operating on faulty, irrational beliefs. Some of these beliefs are conscious but many are not. Behavior Theory suggests that human actions are the results of what we have learned or been conditioned to do and that when these actions are reinforced consistently, by either reward or punishment, they become the basis of functioning in our lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy recognizes that thoughts and behaviors are connected and addresses both in its model. CBT is a problem-solving/task-centered approach which recognizes and challenges illogical and faulty beliefs in an effort to change negative or destructive behavior.
There are positive and negative aspects of this function; first of all, the HR department enriches the Organization through recruitment procedures. HR department also ensures that members of staff follow a general direction by frequently clarifying and reminding them of the Organizations goals. HR is also responsible for organizing incentives or compensation packages to motivate employees. All these functions contribute towards organizational effectiveness.

It is imperative for case managers to use intervention practices that will prevent risks, reduce the negative behavior, and promote productivity and success. Intervention practices are included in case management plans because they serve as actions to improve life situations. The concept with helping clients in the criminal justice is complex because each person is different and unique, so therefore, the treatment and services have to be different to promote success. In order for clients to change their behavior, they must change their way of thinking. References Freeman, D. W. 2001.
Chapter 8: Conformity, Compliance, and Obedience - Social influence o Changes in behaviour caused by other people - Conforming behaviour occurs for two principal reasons: o Informational influence • When people are influence by others because of a desire to be correct and to obtain valid information • Reflects that people often rely on others as a source of information o Normative influence • When people are influenced by others to gain reward or to avoid punishment • Disagree with others judgments or beliefs, but proceed in an attempt to be liked or avoid conflict - These can occur simultaneously - We often want to please other people (normative influence) whose judgments we seek (informational influence) Conformity o Most
Therefore, in my humble opinion some procedure or manual typically will not work; a healthy, productive, happy culture is created and changed through an open communication. Organizational managers and/or leaders visible action reinforces the communication and builds upon, or challenges the current cultural norms and beliefs. It is my belief that the concept of social construction of organization culture is imperative for organizational managers and/or leaders. The problem is, even though it offers them an opportunity, it also poses challenges. The opportunity is if you change negative conversations to positive, you can change the culture for the better.
If you will, the workplace spirituality is a structure of organizational values, and ethics to put it simply. Now let’s break it all down. Conditions: An area where a group can encounter self-improvement, gain their self-esteem as a whole and gain the feeling of cooperation. Meaning at work: Incorporating things that produces the feeling of what is vital, and motivating about work. Besides exploits work-related capacities of social experiences that are not physical or educated, yet otherworldly.
