They must constantly evaluate and review any treatment given so as to keep the best interests of the client and to help them in the most effective way possible, i.e never prolonging treatment unnecessarily. A therapist must never cloud their relationship with clients by bringing prejudice concerning race, sexuality or prejudice of any other kind. Gaining medical background information is vital as this may reveal hidden conditions, such as psychosis, which should never be treated by hypnotherapy. If the therapist is at all in doubt they should seek a GP’s consent for therapy. It is best that ‘dual relationships’ are avoided, such as when the therapist knows the client as a friend as this can be detrimental to the client.
Introduction “Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors should an ethical therapist cover at this time?” My aim in this essay is to demonstrate a clear understanding of the ethical issues surrounding hypnotherapy. Looking at the code of ethics which was developed from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Code of Ethics April 2010; which constitutes a moral code of principles and values which should always be adhered to whenever a hypnotherapist is practising. I will also be addressing why the Initial Consultation is unequivocally essential for any ethical therapist. The Initial Consultation.
“Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time?” 2023 Our personality and belief system is shaped from when we are born as we experience different things; learning things that our subconscious has stored as being necessary for our survival. If we have a negative concept of ourselves it’s the hypnotherapists job to find out as much information about the client as possible, therefore reprogramming a positive concept into the clients subconscious by using positive suggestions, this is why an initial consultation is so important. During this essay I am going to be describing and discussing “why the initial consultation so important and what factors an ethical therapist will cover at this time?” The initial consultation usually lasts for half an hour and gives the client the opportunity to meet the therapist in person and are ‘able to assess their suitability for your expertise’ (chrysalis pg15). It can help determine whether the client feels comfortable discussing and disclosing information with the therapist.
Also, an effective counselor implements compatibility and belief in their theory, along with competence and cognitive complexity in their theoretical approach (Neukrug, 2014). The nine characteristics are deeply intertwined into two common factors that result in a positive outcome in therapy (Neukrug, 2014). A strong working alliance and the theoretical approach of the counselor are essential when determining the effectiveness of counseling. Although, the counselor play a big role in the effectiveness of counseling the client as a responsibility as well when it comes to the attributes contributed to the outcome of treatment. The client must be ready for change, have psychological resources and social support in order to ensure a positive outcome in counseling (Neukrug, 2014).
The bottom line in this kind of assessment is to find out if the client would respond to more of an authoritarian approach or a gentle passive approach. There are other incites that are learned about the client here which help determine what kind of language it to be used wether that be colorful, flamboyant, descriptive, thought provoking and so on. Combinations of different choices of words and language are decided on the scoring system effectively tailoring the session for the individuals personality. I would agree that these steps are valuable in gaining the insite you need before venturing into a therapeutic session with a client. If PMR was attempted without any kind of background research on the client the outcome would most likely be unsuccessful or contrived.
2007). These principles work in collaboration with each other for the patient, which endeavours to do the best in order to protect the patient from any harm (Dimond, 2008). However, Pozar (2006), Griffiths and Tenghah (2008) argue these two principles should outweigh respect for autonomy in life threatening situations, except when a competent patient is able to comprehend the life-threatening risk without the influence of others, then legally and morally professionals must respect the patient’s right to autonomy. Yet with regards to justice there is an obligation to treat people fairly and not to judge or discriminate against them in anyway (Dimond 2008). Whereas by definition, paternalism restricts a person’s right to autonomy, and takes another person’s autonomous right away and makes decision on their behalf, even if it is contrary to the wishes of the patient (Beauchamp and Childress 2001).
Linda Potter A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective Discuss This essay will explore the statement in the title that a personalised induction will always be more effective when used in the context of a Hypnotherapy session between Therapist and client. I will explore within this essay my own personal belief that personalising an induction is vitally important for the client. My reason for this belief is that I believe each person is unique and different in their own way. Therefore it is imperative to treat each person in an holistic or all round way. I will also discuss modalities, or the process that occurs when the brain receives information from our senses and how this represents itself internally.
Developing these values start from birth and the developing of stages factors from our surroundings. Parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends influence our values and ethical behavior with their own modeling. Human service professionals require high ethical standards to service those in need effectively. Workers value accountability and appreciation to ensure the treated receive the best care. Human service professionals articulate behavior, which can effectively express sympathy and empathy for the clients.
Unit 1 Developing Counselling Skills Assignment 1 1.1 In this assignment I am going to demonstrate my understanding of working safely and ethically. Code of practice and ethical concerns. BACP provides a platform for counsellors and shows the rules and principles that they should follow and how you as counsellor should use the BACP as a guideline and as like a “rule book”. Confidentiality is the most important in a counselling relationship. As the client may not have ever spoken about what they are about to speak about to the counsellor before.
I think there, precisely, lies our responsibility to use ourselves as effective facilitators and introduce certain concepts and interventions only when participants are ready for them. I think that a well attuned therapist who works collaboratively with participants will not introduce interventions prematurely at the risk of a potential serious setback for the therapeutic process. But this is why engaging, assessing and evaluating are ongoing transactional throughout the therapeutic alliance. I do, however, think CBT has limitations as does any other form of therapy. I think that working with participants who have severe mental illness might be a challenge.
