Interdependence Theory Reflection

Relational theory is built on the assumption that there is an inherent tendency for people to maintain relationships with others (Hutchinson, 2015). Relational theory is the integration of several psychodynamic theories, such as object-relations theory, self-psychology, and interpersonal psychoanalysis, into a larger perspective which acknowledges that the mind exist in relation to others (Segal, 2013). This theory’s origins in psychodynamic theory can be seen in key concepts such as the assertion that human behavior is significantly impacted by past relational patterns (Segal, 2013). Although past relationships are viewed as influential, relational theorist maintain individuals’ can exercise agency and that actions can be influenced but

One of the concept I noticed while I was at Boys & Girls Club was the statues and roles. Each staff member had their own important roles that they played part in at B&G Club but the same status; their status was B&G club staff member. For example, Joe status was a staff member but a higher advanced one; Joe was the manager of the club. He had more important roles then the other staff members. Joe made sure everything was going in order. Another staff member is Jeff. Jeff’s role is less demanding. He just helps around Joe and make sure the kids are behaving. Each staff member had a different role they played. Either it was the manager. helping recreations, or small groups, they each put in a different part to help out.

A theoretical orientation is the model used to describe a client’s behavior, tendencies and personality. Therapists can’t approach and find explanations of behavior or personality in the same manner due to the difference in client issues, diagnoses, and symptoms. Although different in nature each theoretical orientation consists of the general themes that can be seen and utilized universally. As a counselor, it is important to develop and have sense of which theoretical orientation works best for you and the type of clientele that you will be servicing. While it may be a challenge to pick one theoretical orientation and stick to it due to the vast variety, it is important that you incorporate your background, values, religious beliefs, as well as a host of other factors into your decision to ensure that that orientation can be utilized properly.

In Psychology Today, research has shown that the more roles people fill, the more sources of self-esteem they have. Meaningful work has long been one of the most important ways to feel good about oneself. With either no work environment at all or an unhealthy one, a person’s self-esteem can go down tremendously. The hard-working community must face the terrifying fact that their identity is so highly linked to their job. Failure to maintain a job or fulfill a days’ worth of work connects with their personal emotions which then can result in low self-esteem, self-loathing, or depression.

Tell me about your current team. What are your team members’roles and how do they work together?

By working alongside all staff members on different shifts it allows me to assess the staff member’s knowledge and experience in an informal way. I can then pass on my knowledge and ability in a practical setting rather than the formal setting of an appraisal/supervision.

The society in which we live in today has long been biased upon your profession, as many unfair perceptions such as your social status have been predetermined based solely on the occupational route you’ve taken. Working at a breakfast diner this past summer has given me an interesting perspective on this dilemma that many people such as Christie Scotty have been through as she explains in her article “Can I Get You Some Manners with That”. Christie a college graduate who worked for as a reporter recounts on her experiences during two different points in her life. In this article Christie explains her experiences working as a waitress after leaving her paper company, and compares it to a time while she worked the same job a college student. Working as a waitress during these two different periods of time Christie has noticed not only a change in the respect level she was being given but was also faced with many subtle prejudices.

Throughout the majority of my education, including college, I have felt like a passive member of the classroom. Teachers saw me as a clear slate that needed to be filled with information. I consumed countless facts, and memorized numerous processes, most of them not being my own. This approach to teaching has proven to be unsuccessful to the goals of education. Students are diverse, with their own learning styles and their own knowledge that they bring to the table, and these should be supported and expanded on in the classroom. The goal of education is to support learners and thinkers, and not to condition minds to all think the same ways.
