Indeed, learning these basic skills will help you in most crisis situations. Specific applications to different crisis situations are presented in the next chapter. H E S E X U A L A S S A U LT C O U N S E L O R C A N U S E Techniques of Feminist Therapy Feminist theory holds that “personal” experiences like sexual abuse or assault are “political” because they exist in a society where gender violence and the degradation of women are accepted. Furthermore, feminist theory holds that the relationship between helper and person being helped is equal. These positions are consistent with both the empowerment model of helping and the goals and objectives of crisis intervention.
While other therapies are being developed, tested and researched, (CBT) has evidence based research in being effective due to the flexibility of its interventions and the ease of adjustment to co-join other therapies to (CBT). According to research done by Leslie Swanson, cognitive behavior therapy techniques such as relaxation, restructuring, and re-scripting therapy aided in helping patients with PTSD to overcome insomnia, sleep disorders, and nightmares, which are common symptoms with PTSD (Swanson, 2009). More importantly, research identifies cognitive behavior therapy as a highly effective therapy to treat individuals who suffered from moderate depression (296.22) and have a dual diagnosis of substance abuse (Ruwaard, 2009, 215). (CBT) has also gained respect as a preferred therapy for helping those who abuse and are addicted to drugs. Kirby and Marlowe suggest that CBT has shown substantial gain in the field of substance abuse, due to its person centeredness and brief treatments.
“Easy and Effective Talking Therapies” by Martin Camden, 16th October 2014 Introduction The talking therapies summarised in this document are: 1. ERT: Enhanced Rogerian Therapy—safe, amicable and beneficial counselling enhanced with reality-testing (see BRT below) and with Life Coaching Theory. 2. BRT: Belief-system Reality-Testing—my version of “The Work” by Byron Katie which in itself is an excellent approach to reality-testing our beliefs with a view to ending up with a world-view that is more realistic and/or one that has greater workability value for us and for the people we care about. 3.
“How can you love someone else if you don’t love yourself,” is one of the most memorable lines of the play. KOKUMO thrived off that quote in her search for being accepted one day. I think KOKUMO’s actions were worth doing because she was able to share her life to the public; in doing so, KOKUMO was able to level with the people by allowing them to image how it felt to be in her shoes. This play will help us understand the world because there are many others who are in the same position as KOKUMO, people who feel unwanted, unloved and not accepted in society. I don’t feel like I am the only person who believes this claim because there are places where people can go seek help for such problems (i.e.
Things such as cognitive reconstructive therapy this was developed during WW1 by Dr William H Rivers this is the process of learning/treatment used to explain things such as irrational thoughts “faulty thinking” with the aim of removing and or in some cases replacing irrational thoughts with more logical natural ones. This psychological approach was a great advance in mental health treatment and such a great discovery that it is still by far the most dominate psychology approach today its very useful as it has many practical applications to life for example on perception and memory as well as in education and the development of therapy. WW1 had significant influence on the development of mental health and psychological medicine it gave way for the practice of psychotherapy. Before the War there was certainly interest in Freudian ideas, but few actually used psychological methods to treat mental disorders. There was strong opposition from the psychiatric establishments, particularly to the Freudian emphasis on sexuality as underlying mental
Kerry Macleod Page 1 Tutor: Emma Redfern Course code: Brist2s ‘Evaluate the claim that person centred therapy offers the therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients’ Rogers was an influential psychologist. He had a humanistic approach and was the founder of the person centred therapy approach. His approach is still relevant and widely used by therapists today. Rogers seemed to have a very optimistic and positive viewpoint on mankind. The humanistic approach is essentially positive as it identifies the basic goodness of the individual.
As much as I hate to bring it up; I believe that race has a lot to do with how certain people are treated. I have witnessed people treating their race equal, but not treating another race in the same way. None of the other assessments match the way that I am. I definitely don’t think that I face the risk of being hard-heartedness due to the lack of compassion for others and their needs. It says that my gift is compassion and that is true because I am compassionate about the things I want and am trying to accomplish in life and I show compassion towards others and their problems.
This essay will explore person-centred and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) respectively, it will then discuss some of the ways in which each therapy differs from the other and it will also highlight any parallels. Firstly, the Person-centred approach has been known by many different terms such as client-centred, non-directive and Rogerian, after the founder Carl Rogers (McLeod, 2008). The aim of person-centred counselling is to promote the clients into solving his or her own difficulties, whilst the counsellor takes a non-directive role. This approach to counselling believes that the client is the best authority on his or her own experiences but can only act upon them under the right conditions, (McLeod, 2008). Rogers discovered that for an individual to be able to express themselves fully and to experience therapeutic change, three 'core conditions' must be established within the counselling environment, (McLeod, 2008).
The focus of the relationship shifts from “this is what I want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to "let me first understand what they want and then I'll give that to them." It is a more considerate and sensitive moral guideline than its predecessor which ignores the wishes of the recipients in favour of imposing the giver's preferences onto others in a misguided attempt at kindness. The Platinum Rule, or at least its name, might be unfamiliar to most, but
Some people, especially psychologists, believe that the best way to give advice to our friends, family and other people is to identify what they want and then advising them about how to reach that they desire. However, other people, including psychoanalysts, think that it is not necessary to find out the interests and goals of the people who are asking us an advice. As you can see, this issue is a controversial one but a closer examination reveals that identifying what people want is mandatory in order to give a good advice. My reasons are the following: First, if we don’t identify what people want, probably we will give a wrong advice. In other words, if we don’t consider the motivations of these people who look for an advice, probably we will advise them based on our personal desires and goals, which probably may be the opposite of these people want.
