In CBT, “Transference. The therapist should pay attention to negative or positive reactions towards him/her but should not deliberately provoke or ignore them. He or she should be vigilant for signs of strong negative emotions such as a disappointment, anger and frustration experienced in the therapeutic relationship by the patient. These reactions open space for understanding the patients past and actual relations outside the therapy” (Prasko, Diveky, Grambal, Kamaradova, Mozny, Sigmundova, Slepecky, & Vyskocilova 2010 p. 1-2). In term of Counter transference in CBT, the social worker or therapist needs to see the schemas as they relate to the he or she.

This allowed my client to speak about and look at many of her transference feelings. When we spoke about the boundaries, I let Nancy know that I will accept and contain both of her negative and positive transference and deal with my own countertransference that might be provoked by my client facts. This gave my client the realization that I as the therapist will accept her transference and it gave the feeling of a neutral ground where Nancy can speak about anything she wants to. With Nancy in terms of counter-transference, I attended to this by realizing me own countertransference so during the session there was a clean space for her to react if need be. For example, I was overwhelmed and anxious one day and I made sure to not let Nancy see me this way so I made the space clean so she didn’t feel anxious or overwhelmed as well. Overall when I attended to these concepts with my client, I made sure she knew the boundaries when we began our therapeutic

    While all therapists make use of technical procedures, most of these processes are based on “preparing clients to take some actions to help themselves” (Miller et al, 1997, p. 29). Consequently, the techniques used by the variant models can stop being utilized to compare and contrast; contrariwise, they can become “vehicles for enhancing the effects of the other common factors” (Miller et al., 1997, p.…

    Countertransference by definition is the opposite from that of transference which was a term coined by Sigmund Freud. Countertransference in this case refers to a therapists or professionals reactions toward the patient. This can consists of a redirection of a psychotherapists feelings towards a client. These feelings can be either negative or positive in nature and can affect the general counseling session. These reactions toward another person are most likely due to personal issues that the therapist needs to resolve in order to not affect that patient.…

    The counselor’s interactions need to be intentional, focused and problem-oriented. The role of the counselor is that of a facilitator and guide. The counselor facilitates the client’s exploration into core beliefs, cognitive process and/or distortions and behavioral patterns. The counselor then guides the client in framing the conclusions they draw from this exploration into a hypothesis that can be tested and measured through goal establishment and goal follow through. At certain points in the process of CBT, the counselor’s role is that of a teacher (Freeman et al.,…

    In order to really gain awareness of this phenomenon, I had to first truly understand what it meant. Greenson (as cited in Cartwright, 2011) stated that transference is, “the experiencing of feelings, drives, attitudes, fantasies, and defenses toward a person in the present, which are inappropriate to the person and are a repetition, a displacement of reactions originating in regard to significant persons of early childhood,” (p. 114). In regard to countertransference, Storr (as cited in Cartwright) stated “Freud conceptualised ‘countertransference’ as arising from the client’s influence on the psychoanalyst’s unconscious feelings, a manifestation of the psychoanalyst’s unresolved issues, and a potential impediment to treatment,” (p. 115). Understanding when these two concepts occur, and how to react, will be important to maintaining an ethical relationship with my client. I do not have any doubt that certain clients may affect me more than others, and there are going to be certain stories that I relate with on a whole different…

    We chose to focus our study using a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as our theoretical framework. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed in the 1960’s by Aaron Beck and combines cognitive and behavioral therapies. In CBT, an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behavior are all interrelated. CBT helps an individual build a set of skills to be aware of their thoughts and emotions. An individual will learn to how recognize a situation, thought or behavior that may be influencing their emotions as well as reduce their dysfunctional thoughts or behavior (Cully & Teten, 2008)…

    CBT uses a “generic cognitive model” to assess abnormal behavior and emotional distress. This model has two principles: psychological distress is caused from the exaggeration of normal behaviors (excessive anxiety for example), and faulty information (irrational beliefs) generates exaggerations in emotional and behavior reactions (Corey, 2017). This is evident for the therapist when the client seems to have a distorted perception of reality through emotion. Emotional distress is maintained by cognitive behavior, such as what the client believes is true. Furthermore, when a client starts to convert their desires into “musts,” “shoulds,” “oughts,” which can be defined as “absolutist thinking” emotional disturbance starts to occur.…

    CBT places importance on educating the client about understanding the approach and the theories behind it (Butler et al., 2006). Though it is designed to be a short-term approach, sessions should be a meaningful exchange between the therapist and the client, and clear goals should be identified (Corey, 2012). Goal setting should be a collaborative effort, creating a sense of teamwork and allowing the client to feel motivated to understand its purpose. When the therapist is unsure of how to progress the session, or changes direction without consulting the client, sessions can become ineffective, as clients may feel transparent. Sessions should end with the therapist addressing unanswered questions and providing feedback on the client’s progress, so a sense of closure and comfort is created.…

    Reflecting back on the course of Interventions II, the coursework and in-residence portion had given me a better insight in learning how to define my personal and professional identity. The implementation of a “mock” clinical therapy sessions during the in-residence portion had been a challenge in the beginning due to the lack of having any type of background in conducting a therapy session. These therapy sessions provided the needed feedback from the instructor and my peers to gain a better understanding my theoretical orientations and areas in which I can work on to become a more competent therapist. The coursework that was provided through this course also assisted in having a better knowledge base for my future practice based on empirically…

    The therapist it seems must come to the relationship being fully self aware and able to leave any of their own ‘baggage’ outside of the session. If this is not possible, it would be important to communicate what is happening to the client so that the psychological contact remains and the therapist is able to enter the world of the client unhindered. The client needs help and the counsellor is there to help. The fourth condition necessary for therapeutic change is Unconditional Positive Regard, “The therapist experiences unconditional positive regard for the client” (Rogers,1957) described by Means and Thorne as “the label given to the fundamental attitude of the person-centred counsellor towards her client.…
