definition. - correct answer>>
Describe the similarities between guidance, counselling, and psychotherapy. - correct answer>> •
Guidance, counselling, and psychotherapy are all communication-based processes in which
professionals seek to help other people to solve problems / issues in their lives and/or to develop
healthier ways of approaching choices. In some forms of each of these activities, a goal may be to
increase a client's understanding of his/her situation and/or self.
• Counselling, guidance, and psychotherapy share a common set of assumptions about how helpers
should help clients. Helpers in all of these categories believe that clients should be treated with dignity
and respect, in a manner intended to help them deal both with the specific situation or issue(s) at hand
as well as other current and future issues.
• All three assume that the client is ultimately the decision-maker. Each recognizes that the client may
or may not choose the path(s) that the helper believes is in the client's best interests; ultimately the
client assumes responsibility for his/her own life. Exceptions may apply when a client is deemed
incompetent under the law to take on this responsibility. Competency judgments will relate most often
to matters of age or the inability to reason properly due to medical or social conditions.
• All three exist to help people deal with situations/issues for which advice or help from an outside party
is likely to be of benefit.
• All three use a series of counselling skills (microskills) that have been demonstrated to increase the
likelihood of successful outcomes.
• All three involve a relationship between two or more people using conventions associated with good
counselling practice.
