Describe the basic opponents of the psychotherapy process. What are the key features? What is the
nature of the therapist client relationship? correct answersIn my view, practitioners need to pay
attention to what their clients are thinking, feeling, and doing, and a complete therapy system. Must
address all three of these fascits. Some of the therapies, including here highlight the role that cognitive
factors play in counseling. Others places, emphasis on the experimental aspects of counseling and the
role of feelings. Still others emphasize putting plans into action and learning by doing. Combining all of
these dimension provides the bases for comprehensive therapy.

concerns; client-therapist relationship

behaviors
