Professional
Reasons for Participating in Personal Therapy - ANS-(1) to explore your values & motivations
for becoming a helper
(2) how your needs influence your actions & how you use power in your life
(3) to identify & explore your blind spots & potential areas of countertransference
(4) for remediation purposes
Transference - ANS-the process whereby clients project onto their therapists past feelings or
attitudes they had toward significant people in their lives
Countertransference - ANS--The therapist's total emotional response to a client including
feelings, associations, fantasies, & fleeting images
-Occurs when clinicians:
demonstrate inappropriate affect, respond in highly defensive ways, lose their objectivity
because their own conflicts are triggered
-This can be either constructive or a destructive element in the therapeutic relationship
Examples of Countertransference - ANS--Being overprotective with a client
-Treating clients in benign ways
-Rejecting a client
-Needing constant reinforcement and approval
-Seeing yourself in your clients
-Developing sexual or romantic feelings for a client
-Giving advice compulsively
-Desiring a social relationship with clients
Client Dependence - ANS-- A temporary dependence is not necessarily problematic
- An ethical issue occurs when counselors encourage and promote dependence
It can manifest in subtle ways:
-counselors may keep clients dependent
-termination can be delayed
Sources of Stress for Counselors - ANS--feeling they're not helping their clients
-accepting full responsibility for clients' progress
-feeling pressure to quickly solve clients' problems
-extremely high personal goals & perfectionistic strivings
