Change is an experience based on my own personal model of helping; it is an arrangement of behavioral theories that poses the framework to help others. Different sections in the textbook allowed me to form my point of view.
Model of helping helps people to identify the relationships of thinking, feeling, and behaving. A person with behavioral problems has a hard time recognizing where there values come from and how to facilitate change. Freud’s theory of helping is identifying three parts of human personality the unconscious, consciousness and preconscious. The unconscious would explain the human thought, feeling, and action process. While the consciousness consists of everything within cognitive awareness, preconscious is material that is available but is unaware to the persons thought process. Freud believed the unconscious is the best place to begin to look for clarification of human stimulus. Unlike Freud Carl Rogers, theory believed a client feels responsible for his or her treatment; this allows the client to take responsibility for the changes in their lives.
Freud theories identify with the past and person- centered therapy focus on the present by allowing the client to take ownership of his or her overall wellness. Clients has to have a willingness to change, focusing on the present will allow them to do so. Once the client recognizes the need for change, skills are taught, the necessary tools to help make the changes. This therapeutic process teaches the client the skills to change even when the sessions are over, he or she could still practice what they have learned.
My point of view of helping the client needs to recognize his or her behavioral patterns so when a problem come about he or she can play a part in the changing process. Therapist acts as a guide to help the client in the process of healing. Model shows the client makes the overall assessment and the therapist supports the client through the process,
