    After moving to a small, rural community in Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, I was shocked to see the limited amount of 12 step recovery meetings in this area. Since moving here, I have already run into several of my drug and alcohol clients at AA meetings, and the ethical issue of boundaries has needed to be dealt with. Scott (2000) stated, “many addictions counselors are also in recovery and attend 12-step programs in the community. Thus, they often find themselves in a dual role with clients, acting as a therapist in treatment and a peer in groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous,” (p. 213). Due to the fact that I am recovering myself, and need these meetings to maintain my own sobriety, being knowledgeable about the ethical guidelines regarding dual…

    In the beginning of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “In the realm of the purely personal - after food, water, and shelter - the quality of relationships most often determines the quality of life” (p. 3). I believe this statement perfectly sums up how vital and necessary human relationships are for human life, and the strong impact they play on having a positive and meaningful life. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 1 - 12. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships. In order to have a purposeful life and a greater understanding of relationships, there are many crucial concepts that must be understood, three of them are differentiation of self, thinking systems, and the relationship pattern of cutoff.…

    I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important component to the process of counseling. My definition of the therapeutic relationship is “the building of trust between client and counselor that allows for growth and change to take place”.

Knowing that each theory has a different model of therapeutic relationship I think the most important quality is trust and understanding. Building trust can be a hard task for a therapist but only after trust has been gained can the healing process begin.…

    One of the concepts Shakespeare explores in Much Ado About Nothing is that of the different natures of relationships. Throughout the play, Shakespeare sets up two distinct pairs of lovers, both exemplifying a different model of relationship. Shakespeare contrasts two ideals of relationships, one of which being a relationship of immediacy based on necessity and a need to fulfill social norms, and the other being a relationship that is based on genuine feelings of love that are cultivated slowly and thoughtfully over time. The conversation between Anthony, Leonato, Beatrice, and Hero in Act Two Scene One, regarding how Hero should respond to her impending proposal, contributes to this exploration of differing types of love by juxtaposing the nature of relationship that Anthony, Leonato, and Hero subscribe to with the differing ideal of relationship that Beatrice favors.…
