Parental Relational Problems: A Case Study

Problems can arise where evaluations by others become conditional. Praise from parents when we achieve success but then a withdrawal of praise when we don’t for example. To deal with issues such as these Rogers developed person centred counselling to aid clients in reconnecting to how they really feel about themselves by providing an atmosphere of unconditional regard, as mentioned above. In order to achieve this atmosphere, Rogers outlined six conditions he felt must be in place. (1) A good client/therapist relationship must be established. The therapist does this by encouraging the client in a non-directive way to explore their thoughts and feelings, listening carefully and without interpretation and then try to reflect back what they think the client is trying to say the aim being to aid the client to become more aware of their feelings and to be able to express them without fear of judgement. (2) There must be a level of worry on the part of the client, thus acknowledging the problem and therefore the need for change. It therefore is important that the client can take ‘ownership’ of this problem without being afraid of drawing the therapist into their world; that they can talk freely

Relationships constructs an intertwining web of our lives. They link us and provide us meaning. They can change us or make us miserable. Our history and our relationships with our parents as a child affects how we see ourselves as an adult. (Lachmann 1) I found that there are many ways our parents have effects on our self-esteem. For me the constant criticism from my family has left me thinking I’m never good enough. As New York clinical psychologist Suzanne Lachmann says “If you were excessively criticized no matter what you did or how hard you tried, it becomes difficult to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin later.” (1). Another thing that affects me is abuse. Being forced to do things I didn’t want to cause trust issues in not

Your client/subject should become aware of the unconditional love you feel for him/her and that you have empathy with them, and they with you.

In this session, person-centered, SFBT, and cognitive behavior therapy were the theoretical frameworks that were being used. Using a person-centered framework supported the counseling relationship through the use of skills such as unconditional positive regard, genuineness, empathy, active listening and validation (Henderson & Thompson, 2011; Stone & Dahir, 2016). For instance, the counselor validated the student’s feelings in order to show the student that their feelings were important. This also supported positive rapport because the student felt understood, helping to further the relationship.

On 03/14/2016 Ms. Erica Provosty walked into the SSO to meet with HS De la Torre in order to develop a Housing Plan to explore different housing opportunities available for the family. During the meeting the following was discussed:

The present study will examine various aspects of parent-child dyads at-risk for relationship difficulties. There are three main objectives to this study. The first objective it to relate different indices of parent-child relationships such as: attachment security, parental sensitivity and emotional availability, to assess their relationship quality. It is hypothesized that there will be a relationship between all indices.

In many books whatever the literary genre they belong to, the topic of the parent-child relationship is often something used and represented. This relation can be represented in different ways depending on the author and the genre but also depending on the effects it will have on the readership and on its goal in the story. A very simplistic and legal definition of what a parent-child relationship is can be given through the biological links. However, sometimes the relationship between a parental figure such as an adoptive father/mother and its child is not that easy to understand especially because a link which is different and sometimes stronger than the biological one is created. This is why depending on which parental figure one refers to, parent-child relationships can be chaotic, a source of suffering or helpful and harmonised such as the ones in Stephen King 's The Shining. They can be represented as a form of unconditional love, involving sometimes to risk one of the parent 's life and to brave dangers like in Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu 's Carmilla. They can be completely omnipresent and terrible like the ones in Mary Shelly 's Frankenstein or they can be very confusing as it is the case in John Ajvide Lindqvist 's Let the Right One In. By studying the representations of the relationships between four fathers and their children this essay will try to see how the almost scientific definition of the relation can be applied to some characters of these books and how a more

While parents are responsible for their children and carers are responsible for the dependents under their care for that time, it is crucial to realise the personal and social influences that are you possess as an individual and what you may be passing forth to the child or dependent. There are many personal influences including culture/ traditions, religion. Own upbringing, previous experience, education, multiple commitments and more. And there are numerous social influences that can persuade the parents including media stereotypes, community attitudes and gender expectation. There are three major influences that will project on the parenting style to Zane, which includes multiple commitments, special needs and community attitudes.

Types of relationships. There are different types of relationships between adults and adolescents and they all have different dynamics. Miller-Day discussed four different types of relationships between parents and adolescents. Although they were discussed as parent-adolescent relationships, these types of relationships can also exist between school counselors and adolescent students. Miller-Day described laissez faire, consensual, pluralistic, and protective relationships. These types of relationships all differ in their combination of conversation orientation and conformity orientation. Laissez faire relationships have low conversation and low conformity, consensual relationships have high conversation and high conformity, pluralistic relationships have high conversation and low conformity, and protective conversations have low conversation and high conformity (2008). Awareness of the different types of relationships is important because it determines how an adolescent receives a message from an adult. Conversation orientation refers to the amount of discussion on a subject and the amount of individual input. Conformity orientation refers to the amount of conformity required in a relationship and often results in a “because I said so” type of attitude. The way a decision is come to the message of an expectation is relayed will affect the feelings that come from it.

When a person finds out it is their turn to be a parent, the first thing that comes to mind is not going to be, “what style of parent should be utilized in this situation?” They are more worried about the child being healthy, which parent it will look like, and what will they name it? So many things cross a parents mind before they think of what kind of parent they will be. Will they be strict, will they be relaxed, or will they find a happy medium? So many questions to be answered that come in time, but come somewhat naturally. Many people do not realize there are different “styles” or “approaches” to how others raise their children, but there are others that have very precise views on how they will go about day to day life with how their children are raised. This is the case from Amy Chua. She is a Chinese mother married to a Western father with very opposite views of parenting. Amy is strict, meticulous, and a disciplinarian. The way she handles herself with her family and in the way she raises her children have many effects on their lives. These effects do not only effect the immediate family, but their extended family as well. Those most effected are her husband Jed and her daughters Sophia and Lulu. Amy handles herself in a very specific manner and has no tolerance for anything less than her expectations. These expectations have effects on her family and the relationships around her. Having high expectations as these make relationships hard to maintain, and cause

According to Confucius, for a society to exist in peace and harmony, five great fundamental relationships have to be respected. These relationships are of father and son, ruler and subject, husband and wife, elder and younger and lastly but not least, parents and children. There were appropriate attitudes or the “Yi” that people were expected to adopt. For instance, fathers were advised to be kind to their sons and in return, the sons were supposed to be obedient and dutiful to their fathers. Likewise, rulers were expected to be kind and generous to their subjects while subjects were supposed to show total loyalty to their rulers. In marriage, a wife was expected to be obedient and submissive to his husband while the husband was supposed to love and be good to his wife. Elders, whether brothers or friends, were to be considerate towards their juniors, who in turn showed respect towards their elders. The most important relationship in which almost the Chinese culture is based on is the relationship between parents and children. Confucius believed that a smoothly functioning family; made up of respectful children to parents, ancestors and relatives were a model for the Chinese society as a whole.
