Countertransference

Group Interactions Throughout the group counseling video with Dr. Carroll it is clear that her intention is to foster positive and meaningful interactions with all of the group members (Association for Specialists in Group Work, n.d.). It is evident that Dr. Carroll is an expert in leading group sessions, as such there is a lot to be observed and learned from her as well as the participating group members (Association for Specialists in Group Work, n.d.). During this second video the group appears

I had never seen this movie before. I found it to have a slow beginning and I did not care for the ending. The movie left me with questions. I also felt the mother had serious problems. She wanted to have her family portrayed as perfect although they far from being perfect. I also felt she was not loving towards Conrad even towards the end when he hugged her. She could not bring herself to hug him back. The movie did not make it clear if she was always this way with Conrad or if she became

Introduction: Reflection, criticism and self-evaluation in paramedic practice is paramount for educational and personal growth. This essay will be conducted using the Gibbs’ model of reflection (1988) reflecting on the description of the case, my feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan surrounding a case in which I was personally involved. Description: Myself and my partner were called to a 46-year-old woman with deteriorating mental health issues, experiencing paranoid psychosis

What I Learned In this practicum and the group sessions what I learned about myself is that as a person and a professional I do not actively listen as I should, which I need to hone as an individual but especially as a prospective social worker. Active listening, reflections, and clarification are interdependent these skills cannot be detached from the person (Corey & Corey, 2017). At times I would focus on what I should say to members versus listening to them and facilitating between the members

The reason why I am aware of this countertransference is because I experienced this during my session as the group leader. As the group leader, I had this desire to want to protect them from re-experiencing their feelings of betrayal and pain during the session that I didn’t challenge nor did I confront them regarding some of the issues they brought up in the session. Another countertransference that I may encounter will be about relationship concerns. I fear that

In this paper, I will discuss the case study of a hypothetical client named "Mary." I will explain and describe a variety of factors that have been thought to underline substance abuse and will propose a formal diagnosis. After which, I will identify the treatment recommendations and specific approaches for Mary, as well as the ethical and legal obligations. To conclude, I will discuss the importance and significance of transference and counter transference. Substance use addiction is

Figley (2002a) defined “Compassion Fatigue” as a sense of helplessness and confusion around an emotional investment in helping those who are suffering. Compassion Fatigue has been linked to 10 variables. Starting variable begins with Empathic Ability, the ability to notice the pain of others. Following with Empathic Concern, noticing the pain of others and wanting to help the other person. Thirdly is Exposure to the client, the more time face to face with a consumer. Consecutively follows Empathic

Self-Assessment: Therapist For my MFT 507class, I was in a group with Elizabeth and Jaime. We did a vignette to practice what we have learned in class and imply it in the therapy session. We switched roles and always treated each other with kindness and respect. I will refer Jaime as Debby, so there will not be any confusion. Impressions I learned many things with the vignette we did in class. Active listening is important be-cause it helped Debby see that I was listening and just focusing

INTRODUCTION Kadushin (1969) first suggested that the general public’s perceptions of psychotherapy were based on popular culture such as movies and television. Since that time, various authors have agreed with this general position. For example, Hyler (1988) argues that it is difficult to ignore the potential influence films have on the public’s views about therapists when he states: It is important for [psychotherapists] to be aware of how their profession is depicted in films, since this is often

I had so many fears and concerns about starting my practicum last May related to my performance as a future therapist. I was practicing during my previous classes with my colleagues and train myself on the basic and advanced skills, but I felt at that time that was not enough and I am not ready. When I started the training at the Community Counseling Center, I felt that there is huge information and procedures I need to know and practice related to the system, paper work, ethics and law, and therapeutic
