Systematic Naturalistic Assessment

204 Words1 Pages

This assessment measure allows the client the opportunity to enact how she would typically behave in situations which she fear the most, such as the fear of abandonment. The therapist is able to play the role realistically while observing the client’s behavior. This assessment not only provides important information regarding client’s behavior, but also assessing her social skills and assertive behavior. Based on the information, Robin’s assertive behavior can appear to be aggressive as she continue to alienate her friends and family. Her inability to understand how to be assertive as oppose to being aggressive towards others, has led too much of Robin’s distress. Role playing will not reveal client’s true behavior, but provide insight for treatment. …show more content…

Therapist would focus on physical behaviors, such as self-mutilation, devaluing and idealizing of others, and any verbal expression as it may relate to her interpersonal relationship with her husband.

Child Trauma Essay

907 Words | 4 Pages

The disadvantages of using this REBT approach is that a serious problem can arise when the child gets upset with the behavior of important adult figures in their life (as they most often do), and this gets misconstrued by the therapist (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). It could lead to more harm than good for the child if the therapist decides to go the disputational route, ignoring the fact that the data supports the child’s perspective and the elegant solution is a better alternative to treatment (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). Many therapists tend to do this because they believe that a child’s realization of their parents being uncaring, unfair, or disturbed may cause more emotional distress than they can handle (Diguiseppe & Bernard, 2006). Let’s suppose a child is confronted with such an unfortunate reality of an unloving parent. The therapist decides to pursue an empirical strategy and tries to relabel the parent’s behavior as caring, and convince the child that the parent really does care.

Individuals who do not respond effectively to treatment often become psychopaths in adulthood, (Day, 2001; Gleason et al., 2011). Pediatricians are usually the first to notice some signs of the condition. Among some of the professional organizations that actively work and warn the public regarding this disorder are: the Amecican Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC), the American Psychological Association’s Division on Child, Youth and Family Services, Advocates for Children in Therapy, and Institute for Attachment and Child Development, (Chaffin et al., 2006; Forester, 2014; “Reactive Attachment Disorder …”, 2011); and many other national and local government

Reflective Summary And Analysis

Although this is the second time that we have done recently, this did not ease much of the anxiety that I had about playing the part of the therapist.

Despite the fact that I did do better at addressing the structured questions, my anxiety did cause complications at time throughout the session. In this paper, I will provide a brief

Moreover, for the counselor to be genuine and hold unconditional positive regard for the client, they have to be nonjudgmental, sympathetic, and empathetic towards their client, no matter how their worldviews differ (Kensit, 2000). Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), takes on a different form using a philosophical bend to address the cognitive and behavioral issues of the client (Johnson, Nielsen, & Ridley, 2000). In the counseling sessions, the client and counselor typically focus on a set of problem and create therapeutic goals based on the client’s values (Johnson, Nielsen, & Ridley, 2000).
