One of the most common dual relationships in therapist psychology refers to an intimate relationship between therapist and client. Intimate dual relationships occur when the therapist is interested in fulfilling his or her personal needs, rather than focusing on the welfare of the client. Intimate dual relationships can cause exploitation and potential harm to the client. According to American Psychological Association (2002) 1.17, multiple relationships should be avoided attempting to eliminate harmful consequences. In the event a therapist has the desire to fulfill his or her personal needs, he or she may consider following the first 14 steps of the

In all to avoid diagnosis, treatment plans and other methods that reflect the medical models of mental illness. Person centred planning Person centred planning follows Carl Rogers principles in putting people first. It is a way of discovering what people want, the support they need and how they can get it. It is evidence based practice that assists people in leading an independent and inclusive life. It is a tool that enables a shift of power from professionals to the people who use the service.
Solution focused brief therapy Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), often referred to as simply 'solution focused therapy' or 'brief therapy', is a type of talking therapy that is based upon social constructionist philosophy. It focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy rather than on the problem(s) that made them seek help. The approach does not focus on the past, but instead, focuses on the present and future. The therapist/counselor uses respectful curiosity to invite the client to envision their preferred future and then therapist and client start attending to any moves towards it whether these are small increments or large changes. To support this, questions are asked about the client’s story, strengths and resources, and about exceptions to the problem.
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).
History and Theory: Freud and Rogers PSYCH/504 May 13, 2013 Nancy Lees History and Theory: Freud and Rogers The article, “Using the Delay Discounting Task to Test for Failures in Ego Control in Substance Abuse” in the Psychoanalytic Psychology Journal talks about the study done on the self-medication hypothesis of substance use disorders (SUDs). It says that individuals use substances to mask un-pleasurable feelings or experiences. As a society we see this daily. People who have experienced tough times and do not want to feel pain any longer; emotional or physical, are more likely to abuse substances. Individuals do this to make the pain go away which ultimately they really just defense mechanisms (Gottdiener, Murawski, & Kucharski, 2008).
Introduction (communicates the overall goal of the assignment and identifies the two theories – ½ page) This assignment will examine two theoretical models of counselling. The identified theories will be discussed in this paper will provide a general overview of the terminology of Cognitive -Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centered therapy. Secondly, this paper will provide a comparison and contrast of the approaches regarding the theoretical rationale for human nature, processes of change, the therapeutic relationship including the role of the counsellor and the client. In addition, an analysis of the techniques and interventions of each model and finally concluding with the strengths and limitations in relation to each particular model.
In other words, cognitive therapy “emphasizes what people think rather than what they do” (“Different approaches to psychotherapy”, n.d.). The humanistic approach differs greatly from the other two approaches because unlike the behavioral approach or cognitive approach, the humanistic approach emphasizes on “people’s capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential. Concern and respect for others are also important themes” (“Different approaches to psychotherapy”, n.d.). The humanistic approach and the behavioral approach if compared and contrasted, then disagreement can be noticed. The
The two theories that will be examined are firstly Erikson's theory of psychosocial identity (PIT) and secondly Tajfel's social identity theory (SIT). Firstly, a description of Erik Erikson's psychosocial identity theory. Erikson believed that identities are shaped with the help of the community in which children and adolescents lived. For Erikson, 'identity involved the development of a stable, consistent, and reliable sense of who we are'. This quote suggests that Erikson viewed identity at an individual level.
