The Involvement Of Group Counselors

261 Words2 Pages

According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2010), when doing groups with children, group leaders should take into account the legal ramifications, practical considerations, confidentiality and personal and professional qualifications (p. 290-297). Every state has different rules and regulations for children’s, hence “the counselor must be informed of the state laws as well as school board policy and the standard of behavior expected of counselors in the local community” (Ledyard 1998). Children have different developmental stages, which should be taken into account. Furthermore, “Involvement of parents and other caregivers is viewed as essential to therapeutic success and is recommended for both the planning and treatment phases of therapy”

    Survivors Support Group I am currently on the mental health track, so looking at a potential group that I might encounter would encompass female victims of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) which is also referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV) and rape or sexual assault victims (as statues vary depending on the states definition). Both forms of abuse stem from a power and control dynamic. The use of force during sex is not about sexual pleasure for the perpetrator, instead the pleasure comes from being in a position of power and having control over another human being. The act of hurting and demeaning the woman is the real pleasure. DVA/IPV consists of physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse.

    There are a variety of different theories and approaches to counseling and each counselor or therapist has their own unique way and approach to various situations. While perusing and examining the distinctive types of hypothetical models of counseling, I found I was not able to connect fully with only one of them because there are so many approaches and ideas I can resonate with. I found myself viewing all of the different theories and approaches and pulling them together to make my own personal therapeutic approach to counseling. Hence, I think a diverse way to deal with my theoretical perspectives of counseling would suit me as a man and an expert the

    The text book, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy by Irvin D. Yalom with Molyn Leszcz begins with the preface of the fifth edition. In the preface, Irvin D. Yalom introduced Molyn Leszcz as his collaborator and how they met at Stanford University in 1980. He then discussed how they both worked hard collaboratively to combine old and new material to make this edition. Their goals for this edition were to prepare student therapists for the present-day workplace and to keep the current methods from decaying, so that students can gather wisdom and techniques of the field when they get the opportunity to utilize those methods as therapists. Yalom briefly talked about what each chapter in the text would discuss.

    However, even if this were an effective way to serve her student, the fact that group counseling has been eliminated as an option still hinders the school counseling program’s effectiveness. When confronting the administration about reinstating group counseling, she risks her job and relationship with other school professionals. This course of action requires tact, data, and facts. By bolstering her student’s self-efficacy to help her disclose her identity to her parents, Mrs. Moon risks her student’s emotional wellbeing if her parents do not accept her. By defying the order of the school and providing group counseling unofficially, she severely risks her job and her reputation as a school

    Willing participation for mandated members will be harder to establish because of the circumstances surrounding their membership. They are usually reluctant and unsure about the goals of the therapy group, the processes, the rules and limitations pertaining to confidentiality (Jacobsen, 2013). Group members usually come with biases including cultural beliefs, behaviors, and value systems that group leaders must be willing to challenge to allow them to undergo substantive changes. Part of the participation process is to understand the real reason behind members reluctance and allow them to have an open discussion about how they feel, about being mandated to attend. This will allow the group leader valuable information on how much support each member needs.

  • Integrative Approach To Counselling

    Integrative approach to counselling is the process of combining different approaches to psychotherapy for the treatment of a client. The basic assumption of integrative approach is that there are no singular approaches that can guarantee the treatment of a client; thus different theories are required to ensure effective treatment. The major benefits of integrative approach are: firstly, its flexibility and focused treatment for the wholeness of an individual/client. Secondly, it is effective in treating children with autism and helping children and other clients who have difficulty in learning. It also helps in the treatment of depression, phobias and other negative behaviours.

    Much discussion is devoted to the literature regarding group work as it remains an integral part of the social work field. Group work is important as “the need to belong is one of the most basic and powerful human needs as well as the most social” (Ashford, & Lecroy, 2008, pg. 140). Group work is found to be an effective intervention and has become a major treatment modality in the mental health services (Knight, 2017; Clements, 2008). This intervention has been found just as effective as an individual intervention (Knight, 2017). Groups have played an instrumental part in transforming how the social work field thinks about the helping process for clients.
