This pack of BSHS 405 Week 5 Discussion Question 1 shows the solutions to the following problems: What strategies can be used to involve a client in the treatment process? Why is client involvement so important?…
The first phase or the A phase of this interviewing process is creating contact with the client. This is accomplished by establishing an informational, trusting and mutually respectful relationship between the clinician and the client. This is established through attending behaviors such as maintaining focus on the client and active listening to the client. This helps the clinician gain a clear understanding of how the client perceives the crisis. Lacking this understanding the clinician is unable to assist the client in changing their perception of the event and therefor unable to help the client improve their level of functioning. Without building this basis, foundation or rapport the client may not feel as though the clinician is trusting, empathic, accepting or non-judgmental and will not move into the B or C phase of the model (Kanel, 2007).…
the importance of client’s understanding what is planned to do in therapy, if needed further explanation should be provided…
Interviewing clients can seem like a daunting task if the provider is unsure of the own skills. Adhering to the three stage of interviewing can ease the burden felt by both the provider and client. Stage 1 is exploration, this stage is meant to help clients identify their experiences and issues (Evans, Hearn, & Uhlemann, 2011, Chapter 1: Attending Behavior. p. 8). Reflective listening, questions, and behavior allow clients to feel heard and validated. Body language and verbal communication allow for open ended questions and reflective answers. This stage sets the tone for positive engagement between client and provider.…
I really enjoyed reading Alexie’s essay. What he writes about is very expressive, and you get the full point of what he is trying to express. The main part that touched me is when he is explaining how he was treated, and what he had to go through just because he was smart, and wasn’t afraid to express himself. The other children would beat him up; he was looked down on, and also treated as an outsider because of this. Alexie didn’t care though because he knew that there was something other than the reservation in his future, and that the world was much bigger than the reservation that he lived on, and there was more to be gotten on the outside. He wasn’t going to let the other Indians keep him down, and stop him from learning. It’s awesome that when Alexie is an adult he goes back to reservations to help the children, because when he was a child there was no one that was there to support him, or to look up to other than…
In the second stage, I will identify the problem’s the client presents by identifying the precipitating event, Recognize the meaning of the event, subjective distress and functioning level, understand the clients thoughts and feelings, make ethical check, substance abuse issues, and finally I will use therapeutic Interactions. In order to identify the…

In this therapy session the therapist asked many open and closed ended questions to help get the full picture of the client’s relationship. When the therapist was asking these questions she was using verbal and nonverbal cues from the couple, to see how and what she should be asking next. The questions that where asked in this session is:…

The aim of this therapy is to provide the client with a relationship and provide them a therapeutic atmosphere. This then facilitates growth, understanding and self-acceptance. This helps clients to overcome the gap between their self-concept and actual experience. An individual’s self-concept is usually based on their own personal values. If the individual faces an experiences that contradicts their values, stress and anxiety can occur. Therapists that follow the client cantered approach do not aim to modify the client’s behaviour but instead they play the role of ‘facilitator.’ They then provide the client with warmth, empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard. The best way is to ask…
This approach does not dwell on what may be wrong with the client but simply focuses on a solution for the client to remove themselves from a rut, per say. People are not defined by a specific problem nor labeled or identified by a disorder (Corey, 2013). For example words such as "depression" do not refer to a thing-like illness in a thing-like part of a thing-like mind. The word "depression" refers to all the social processes that have occurred for that person in their interactions with others through the years. What is called "depression" is an intersubjective and historical process, including interpretation and active conscious choice, as well as more habitual and automatic, unconscious and out-of-awareness choices and assumptions. These, together with the influence and actions of others, lead clients to call themselves…
By sharing an observation of his appearance I tried to initiate conversation and to inform the patient that I knew something was wrong. Using an open ended question was also used to initiate communication so that Mr. Jones would explain his situation and trying to start a conversation.-Open Ended Question (Therapeutic)…

Research also also indicates this: More and more research studies(Luborsky et al., 1983; O’Malley et al. 1983; Bergin and Lambert 1978; Hill 1989) demonstrates that it is the relationship between the client and psychotherapist, more than any other factor which determines the effectiveness of psychotherapy. That is success in psychotherapy can best be predicted by the properties of the patient the psychotherapist and their particular relationship. Lambert, Michael J.; Barley, Dean E: Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training, Vol 38(4), 2001, 357-361: Factors that influence client outcome can be divided into four areas: extra-therapeutic factors, expectancy effects, specific therapy techniques, and common factors. Common factors such as empathy, warmth, and the therapeutic relationship have been shown to correlate more highly with client outcome than specialized treatment interventions. The common factors most frequently studied have been the person-centred facilitative conditions (empathy, warmth, congruence) and the therapeutic alliance. Decades of research indicate that the provision of therapy is an interpersonal process in which a main curative component is the nature of the therapeutic relationship. Clinicians must remember that this is the foundation of our efforts to help others. The improvement of psychotherapy may best be…
