When I started working with Dontae I tried to be open minded and not interact with him with theories floating around in my mind. I was taught in my undergraduate career that conversations with your clients should feel natural and because I was nervous to showcase my abilities at a new placement I did not want say the wrong thing and to ruin my ability to make a deep connection with Dontae later. In addition I considered that Dontae may not be his true self for at least a week because he would be new to the program and not know any or many of the other residents. I decided during the initial intake that although I had read all the faxed documents and psychiatric evaluations on Dontae that I would speak to him and determine for myself what was going on for him.
During Dontae’s initial week at MTR I observed Dontae’s interactions with others and assessed his coping skills. I introjected myself into what he was doing to ensure that he adjusted well to MTR staff and residents. I began to formulate some thoughts as to what was happening for Dontae but tried to keep an open mind about him as a person. Moreover during the course of my work with Dontae I began by making sure that I aligned myself with Dontae and made sure that he understood that I was here to help him rather than hurt him. I made sure that Dontae felt like I cared about him and that he understood that his all-around wellbeing is a priority for me. My purpose for aligning myself with Dontae and creating a working

As previously mentioned, it is thought that engagement and understanding are key elements involved in creating and maintaining a therapeutic relationship (Orlinskey et al 1994). Throughout the risk assessment I checked the patients
Furthermore, by closely monitoring Mr. F.H. compliance, it gave him structure and guidance. Through using this system-focused strategy, and closely monitoring any signs of increase in resistance level, Mr. F.H. was able to follow through. Even though, support and guidance is important, in my opinion the therapist made Mr. F.H. too dependent on him/her as the therapist made himself/herself too available. For example, the therapist provided Mr. F.H. with a phone and pager and asked him to contact him/her anytime he felt the need to do so. I feel this will not help Mr. F.H. in managing his symptoms and in
Therapy is successful when it moves the client forward by making a positive inner growth in the client’s life.

From a counseling perspective, my case conceptualization involves looking at the patient’s strengths and areas that have not developed fully in relation to their desired goals. I try to emphasize strengths and work patiently with any areas of development. I also try to understand how their environmental and situational influences have affected their current issues. One of my first influences was the work of Carl Rogers, whose emphasis is on unconditional regard for the patient and nonjudgmental listening. This humanistic approach has strongly informed my way of being with patients.
