Comparing The Focused Culture-Specific Approach To MCT
The Focused Culture-Specific Approach to MCT
The goal of this approach is to perceive people as both members of a culturally diverse group and as individuals. With this approach to MCT the counsellor examines her or his own attitudes and racial beliefs, discuss racialy relivant topics, work on identity development, and work with issues surrounding oppression. The efficiency of MCT will most likely be improved when the therapist uses modalities and outlines goals coherent with the cultural values and life experiences of the client. So in otherwords, liberation of consciousness can be viewed as the basic goal of MCT theory.
Another therapy that may be usefull in the South African context is “Network therapy”. This theory integrates community and community relationships into family therapy. The goal is to help the patient build meaningful interpersonal and community relationships to further positive mental well-being. Due to the high level og gang activity and the constant friction between community members, I think this approach might benefit us as a society greatly. If community members can finally get along thire will most likely be a decreaswe in the murder rate aswell as violant behaviours towards one another.

The professional will assess whether the individual has a certain plan for how the deed would be executed, how deadly the style or method is (overdosing, shooting), if methods are available (as in having access to weapons), and if the plan is specific and detailed versus vague.
Reality therapy would be great option for the treatment of a suicidal individual. This is a person-centred approach which focuses on the here and now instead of issues from the past. Reality therapy is designed to discover ways of meeting an individual's basic needs, whilst enabling patients to become conscious of, and change negative actions and thoughts. This is to assist them when it comes to taking control of their behaviour, including the world around them.
A counsellor must nurture and create a authentic relationship and trusting environment to ensure their patient(s) feels connected and contented about sharing their issues. This is considered the basis of, and the most significant step in the custom of reality therapy.
The benefits and strengths of this approach lie in its emphasis on solution-building - specifically on changing actions and thoughts.
It offers a individual self-help tools in order to gain more effectual control over their relationships and lives. This makes the approach exceptionally useful when it comes to treating mental health issues such as substance abuse, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioural issues (such as suicidal tendencys). When it comes to the South Africa is can be quite helpful since it also proofs to be affective in the area of racial issues and cultural clashes. This can help communities in recognising their negative behaviours and promoting
equality.
Furthermore, reality therapy has shown to be successful at helping families, colleagues and other individuals in relationships to better comprehend difficult situations – such as a loved one being diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. This makes it particularly valuable for large groups as everyone can express or share their desires and needs so as to lay the basis for a plan of action which will assist in fostering closer bonds, improved understanding and enhanced conflict resolution.
