Process Report of a Client Centred Therapy Session Reflection and Literature Review Gina Enache-Raw PS 4002 - Humanistic Approach and Skills Abstract The purpose of this process report is to critically evaluate my sensitivity within the counselling process and to assess my awareness of what was occurring within the therapy as this allows me to explore areas that have potential for further development and to increase my understanding of a humanistic framework. I will attempt to inform the reader about my interactions with the client and explain how I have made sense of the therapeutic process and what I have learned from the experience. One of the main reasons for choosing this particular session was because I have previously worked with the client and there were certain issues worth exploring from both, mine and client’s perspective. For example, as the reader will see from the excerpt the client spoke about issues within her family and I have considered this to be of a particular interest from both personal and multi-cultural perspectives.

This method has made important contributions to counseling as a whole as a lot of therapists and counsellors, even if they follow different psychological theories, have been influenced by it.

Studies also show that psychotherapy is necessary to supplement and optimize the effects of medication (Steinkuller and Rheineck 338).

RUNNING HEAD: Existentialism Existential Psychotherapy: Theory, Practice, and Research Nadine Duckworth EDUC 5705 - Counselling Psychology: Theory October 29, 2007 Existential Psychotherapy: Theory, Practice, and Research Introduction Existential therapists assist clients to develop a deeper understanding about life, enhance their self-knowledge, and become the authors of their own reality. Existential psychotherapy can be seen as a tapestry of intersecting practices, all oriented around the concern of the lived human experience (Cooper, 2003). In this paper, I will explore the history and philosophical ideas of existentialist theory, examine its descriptive and prescriptive value with regard to therapeutic practice, and evaluate the research in support of it. I will conclude with the proposition that existentialism is a very broad theory that has many potential applications, and is in need of more research to support its practices. History of Existentialist Theory As long as humankind has been consciously aware of its own existence, there have been existential ponderings.
In the 1960s Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which combined classical and operant conditioning with observational learning. During the 1960s a number of cognitive behavioural approaches sprang up, and they still have a significant impact on therapeutic practice. It was during the 1970s that behaviour therapy emerged as a major force in psychology and made a significant impact on education, psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, and social work. In the 1980s behaviour therapists continued to subject their methods to empirical scrutiny and to consider the impact of the practice of therapy on both their clients and the larger society. Increased attention was given to the role of emotions in therapeutic change, as well as the role of biological factors in psychological disorders.
