I wanted to give back to society as they did with helping my fad recover and lead a healthy and abstinent life before passing away.…

    The ethical implications of a counselor expressing their values to a client Young, Scott, Craig, and Cashwell (2016) explain that it is often difficult for a person to exist and work in a manner that is value-neutral. According to Young, Scott, Craig, and Cashwell, 2016, value-neutral is a term in psychotherapy used to explain the goal of not changing the value of a client to match that of a professional, by assuming that the values of the professional are preferable. Although counselors often have their set of values, just like other people have, it is important that they understand that the goal of counseling is to ensure that a client examines his/her value systems and beliefs and make decisions accordingly. According to ACA code of ethics (2014), Section A.4.b., explains that counselors should refrain from imposing their values, behaviors, and beliefs.…

    Counselors and Social workers both stem off from similar areas of interest. Counselors have a different focus than Social work. Counselors will rely more on the client and work with them to fix their issues, whereas for social workers the main focus is getting resources that will help the client get better. Counselors share more characteristics of their work with psychologists since they deal with a form of therapy – short term rather than getting other professionals involved in that individual’s life (Erford, 2014).…

    The aim of this essay is to explore two counselling theories or theorists in depth, comparing and contrasting their background, theory of personality, theory of problems in living and theory of change. It is also necessary to assess their strengths and weaknesses as you see them and to evaluate which counselling situation that they would be most appropriate for. The two theories that I am going to discuss are the humanistic approach of person-centred therapy and the cognitive behavioural therapy approach of cognitive therapy. Carl Rogers agreed with the same main assumptions as Abraham Maslow but added that in order for a person to progress successfully they would require an environment that also gives genuineness, acceptance and empathy. He…
