As Christian counselor, I would find CBT to useful in my therapeutic style. Although I am a Christian, I do value and hold a secular view towards mental illness. Some Christian counselors may find that the model of CBT could conflict with their Christian beliefs and be unable to view a person from a model of illness. According to Jones and Butman (2011), they state that “Christian counselors who have clarified their theological foundation could able use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as their predominant orienting theoretical approach” (p. 452). They discuss how deficiencies may arise when using CBT in order to heal the disorder or sickness but the Christian counselor should be able to work through them.…
The implications for professional practice VET teachers and trainers represented the body which was responsible for actual implementation of CBT in education settings across Australia. The introduction of CBT affected greatly how teachers taught and felt about education. The understandings of the new system in place were varied between practitioners and government officials. As for the government, the new system was optimistically meant to help businesses and industry to meet their needs as efficiently as possible, leaving out the complexity of the issue of quality of VET. However, TAFE and non-TAFE teachers and trainers responded in the opposite way, arguing about the huge pedagogical change followed the introduction of CBT, especially, in…

In this scenario, the issue lies directly on Jennifer, the caseworker. By agreeing to see Jack without his knowledge of reason, she is misrepresenting herself and the client. There needs to be a clear statement of purpose before seeking to help this client. In doing so, the client understands why he is there and moves forward with the treatment. In the National Association for Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, misrepresentation is stated in section 4.06.…

(Frew & Spiegler 2013). CBT includes several types of therapies that focus on the impact of an individual’s thinking as it relates to spoken behaviors.

According to the American Therapeutic Recreation Association "recreational therapy, also known as therapeutic recreation, is a systematic process that utilizes recreation and other activity-based interventions to address the assessed needs of individuals with illnesses and/or disabling condition, as a means to psychological and physical health, recovery and well-being." (ATRA, 2009). This service helps restore and rehabilitate the functional ability and reduce the limitations one may have due to injuries or illnesses. A few of recreation therapies overall goals is to improve the functional behaviors of a client, whether that be a physical cognitive emotional, or social improvement.

There is a large availability and variety in theoretical models of counselling in Modern-day psychology. Though all of these models serve the purpose of helping individuals deal with psychological difficulties, they possess unique differences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt Therapy are two perspectives that are fundamentally different in their approach to psychotherapy. CBT is a psycho-educational approach that believes therapeutic change is achieved by restructuring cognitive thoughts from dysfunctional to functional (Hickes & Mirea, 2012). Gestalt therapy focuses on awareness and creating real experiences in the present.…
This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which according to Rogers (1975) in his “client-centered” therapy argues that it encourages the client to share the information in more depth than if I was only asking directive questions. This enabled me to gain information when the client brought out the underlying issues including those that I had not thought about. The active listening also improved my relationship with the client since I was able to express acceptance by avoiding any expression of disagreement or judgement thus making him open up and also trust me as his couselor. This method also left me with enough time to explore and diagnose the issue thus noting the new ways of approach to the…
Cognitive therapy was founded by Aaron Beck, and he based this therapeutic approach on two main ideas. The first idea is that individuals who are depressed have a negativity bias in their thinking, and the second idea is that the way individuals interpret the events around them contributes to the maintenance of their depression (Ball, n.d.). In a more refined sense by Ball (n.d.) it can be said that cognitive therapy is based on the premise that it is not the event itself that the individual faces but rather how they make sense of it that determines their emotional reaction.…
In this assignment I will look at Rogers’ s six conditions and why they are considered necessary and sufficient for therapeutic change. I will also consider the implications of this theory for counsellor education. After a short amount of time studying Person Centred Counselling the understanding of how the six conditions are necessary and sufficient is starting to emerge and become a real part of my conscious actions and way of being. Each of the six conditions come with their own difficulties as a student counsellor and although we may use empathy and listening skills in our day to day life, until we look more closely, we do not appreciate how we are often in life, and our relationships, not actually listening or being empathetic when…
Also, CBT requires a client to commit himself/ herself in the process for therapy to succeed or to get the most from the therapy. Likewise, the client needs to attend regular CBT sessions and carrying out any extra work in-between sessions which can take up a lot of the client time. Plus, the therapy might not be appropriate for a client with more complex mental health needs or learning difficulties as it requires structured sessions. Moreover, CBT involve the client to confronting his/ her emotions and…
I think that cognitive therapy method would best to help with schizophrenia because it uses a combination of techniques from different therapies based on therapist judgment. Biological therapy and a combination of antipsychotic drugs are also helpful by diminishing agitated behavior, decreasing hallucinations and improving social behavior. Also, cognitive-behavior therapy might help which this therapies help reduce self-defeating thoughts and helps change behavior. Therapists will talk with patients in order to help them identify automatic thoughts and feelings they…
