Psychology: The Importance Of Empathic Listening

These findings reflect the characteristics of flexible therapeutic relationship to create good working alliance and suggest that rigid therapeutic relationship is not desired by clients. To further support this, Plexico, Manning, and DiLollo (2010) researched on effective and ineffective therapeutic relationship between therapists and clients with speech stuttering. The participants were asked to describe the experience with their therapists who effectively changed their stuttering and the experience with those who were unable to change their stuttering. Effective therapists were described as more competent because the therapists could show their understanding of the clients and willing to listen to the clients. On the other hand, ineffective therapists were described as the lack of competence due to the lack of understanding and willingness to listen.

“Anything that has meaning to a person can be viewed as a cultural resource”. (McLeod, J. 2015). As a novice counsellor I have personally encountered the difficulties of encouraging clients to access their own cultural resources, mainly due to them viewing me as the expert and them being unaware of the fact that they can have agency and their own preferences within the counselling relationship. Another difficulty to overcome is to help the client realise that they can have access to these resources, but have not been in a frame of mind which would enable this, due to their specific issues in daily life. One of the major benefits of actively using cultural resources with clients is that it provides them with a stage on which they can pursue

David Foster Wallace argues that reality can be mundane. However, if people focus on what others are going through, then they can learn to empathize and understand humanity better. A behavior is a snap shot of how that person is acting in that moment. There are lots of moments where behaviors may not accurately describe someone. If people are constantly operating unconsciously and only ever taking what they see face value then they are not relating or understanding others; even more what they are thinking about other’s is stereotypical and possibly hurtful.

These tools relate directly to redemption. Redemption is the act of forgiving others while freeing yourself from guilt. Evaluating your resources allows one to realize what objects they require to enhance survival. Despite the fact that one cannot forgive another for not having the proper resources for survival, one can guide others on what assets to possess. This may not relieve you from guilt, because you most likely don’t care, but these are suggestive solutions to eradicating marginalized groups.

This harmful case is not a mainstay of such narratives, though, as can be seen through an analysis of how a much more nuanced overcoming narrative is established in Kingsley and Levitz’s Count Us In. While Count Us In also operates through the guise of an overcoming narrative, Kingsley and Levitz’s desire to establish their efficacy as members of society is what ultimately drives this construction. Of course, mediation is also present in this implementation, specifically in the social values that have been instilled in both Jason and Mitchell regarding a certain responsibility they have as individuals with Down syndrome.

Disadvantages Even though the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of informed consent, it is still vital to talk about the shortcomings involved. It is important for health care professionals to understand the disadvantages of informed consent just as much as the advantages so that they can prevent these drawbacks, if possible. The disadvantages I will be discussing in this section is the act of coercion and undue influence, emergency situations and special circumstances where informed consent does not apply, and therapeutic privilege. When informing patients about their care options, the health care provider may be convinced that one way is the best and may inadvertently pressure a patient to make a different decision than they originally

Techniques to build positive relationships: - Make key points clearly. A good techniques is to get your listener to repeat back the key points. It helps people to remember better and ensure understanding. - Be considered to others.

The didactic approach has been defined as a sequence where the practitioner gives information and attempts to persuade the client to follow this information. This approach tends to render the client a passive recipient to the knowledge imparted and reduces patient autonomy and can generate resistance to change (Heritage and Sefi, 1992). More recently NICE guidelines on behaviour change recognised the need for a person centred approach. (NICE 2007, NICE 2014). In the person centred approach the client is the expert about themselves.

This is an apt metaphor for the difficulty involved in mindset change. Change is not a painless process. It involves letting go of old ways of thinking before new ways of thinking can be embraced. Sometimes the old ways of thinking are reinforced by a lack of confidence, or a lack of self belief in one’s ability to meet the challenge of change. Sometimes they are reinforced by fear of uncertainty or of the unknown and sometimes they are “rusted on” by complacency or habit or by what is referred to as being in a “comfort

(Rogers, 1979) 6. The communication to the client of the therapist’s empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard are to some degree achieved PCT emphasises the relationship between the counsellor and the client. For PCT to be effective, the client must be aware, to some level, of the existence of the therapist’s empathy and unconditional positive regard for the client. If not, they do not exist in the relationship for client and so change cannot occur in therapy (Rogers,

In cases of significant client paranoia, it is possible and even likely that overt attempts at engagement (such as self-disclosure) may be experienced as threatening more so than connecting. In contrast, non-disclosure and some extent of mirroring may help to encourage a basic level of initial comfort if not modulated-paranoid anxiety. In cases of borderline personality, self-disclosure may reinforce poor boundaries and encourage enmeshment. As an alternative, non-disclosure may help to model appropriate boundaries, encourage gradual relationship development, and teach frustration tolerance. When clients present with narcissism or antisocial personality, self-disclosure may be interpreted as a sign of weakness while non-disclosure may symbolize clinically appropriate forms of strength and non-suggestibility.

One of the weaknesses of ENTJ 's is that they can react in a volatile manner when under extreme stress. Don 't do well-sharing credit with other people. Tend to want their exploits and endeavors to be in the limelight. The natural drive to be a leader can hinder sharing responsibilities. Difficulty expressing love and affection.

Whereas, dialetctical perspecitive is when the person involves the audeince to persuade them. Being ehtical and honest is also vital in argumentation. Again, if you are not aware of your audience and they don 't understand the context of the phrases and words, then you will not be able to use either perspective to persuade them. You may also becuase of their own undestanding, may come off as dishonest and unethical. Rybacki and Rybacki

The lack of expansion on the principles, primarily of autonomy and discussion on beneficence should not be left to the subtlety if the providers basis of knowledge. To leave these principles to the two, short bullet points, assumes the provider is thinking of these important tools which should be part of the overall assessment of the child. That is to say that the policy assumes that the provider need not be reminded of these tools, and their importance, yet the provider apparently needed to be reminded of the assessment tools to identify pain itself. In fact, the tools have nuances about them that would involve ethical, social and psychological consideration in their design. For example, the FLACC (face, legs, activity, cry, consolability)

In life you should make an honest effort in everything that you do, you can’t accidentally climb a staircase because you have to put effort into taking each step up. Effort, is not something that you can come across, it is something you have to put forward yourself. When someone truly is devoted to what he or she is doing, it is easily recognizable through the honest effort that they make to finish the task. You can see this through their determination and work habits, not just through the final project. The same is true for when someone doesn’t give their true best.
