PREFACE PHILOSOPHY Therapeutic work with families is a recent scientific phenomenon but an ancient art. Throughout human history, designated persons in all cultures have helped couples and families cope, adjust, and grow. In the United States, the interest in assisting families within a healing context began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Family life has always been of interest, but because of economic, social, political, and spiritual val- ues, outsiders made little direct intervention, except for social work, into ways of helping family functioning until the 1950s. Now, there are literally thousands of professionals who focus their attention and skills on improving family dynamics and relationships. In examining how professionals work to assist families, the reader should keep in mind that there are as many ways of offering help as there are kinds of families. How- ever, the most widely recognized methods are counseling, therapy, educational enrich- ment, and prevention. The general umbrella term for remediation work with families is family therapy . This concept includes the type of work done by family professionals who identify themselves by different titles, including marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, pastoral counselors, and clergy. Family therapy is not a perfect term; it is bandied about by a number of professional associations, such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

  • 3. Helping Relationship Comps Review
    3. Helping Relationship l. Helping relationships Considerable research evidence suggests that the relationship in counseling is the determining factor whether or not counseling is successful. Theories of counseling provide the underlying philosophy and strategies for building and maintaining this relationship. Four key elements in building this relationship are: 1. Human relations core: empathy, respect and genuineness as identified by Carl Rogers. 2. Social influence core: competence, power and intimacy. Expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness were identified by Stanley Strong in his social influence model. 3. Skills core: Allen Ivey identified microskills-communication skill units such as attending, inquiry and reflection. 4. Theory core: These help the counselor understand self and interpersonal relationships and skills. They also help to understand the problems of clients and help to choose interventions that are likely to be effective with the identified problems. 2. Psychoanalytic (Sigmund Freud) Freud identified a structure of personality: Id: Unconscious motivation or energy is the id ruled by the pleasure principle. Ego: The ego is controlled by the reality principle Superego: the superego is internalized ethics. Therapy techniques include: Free association Interpretation of dreams and other client material. Transference (projections onto therapist) must be worked through. Countertransference consists of projections of the therapist onto the patient. 3. Neo-Freudians A number of psychoanalysts moved away from Freud's emphasis on the id as the dominant psychological force and placed more emphasis on the ego, including both psychodynamic and sociodynamic forces. Karen Horney: Security is each person's major motivation and the person becomes anxious when it is not achieved. Irrational ways to mend disrupted human relationships may become neurotic needs.

  • The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies
    SPIRITUAL PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING spiritualpc.net / 2020 Volume: 5 Number: 1 Original Article The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies Hasan Kütük1 Ph.D. Candidate 1 Ph.D. Candidate, Marmara University, İstanbul, 34722, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The concept of spirituality has started being included in therapy settings due to the new paradigms showing developments in the world of psychology in the late 20th century and in the 21st century. When examining the literature, many articles and books are seen to have been published related to the topic, and most of the studies have been carried out abroad. These performed studies have contributed new concepts and information to the literature by revealing how the concept of spirituality can be integrated with family therapies. This study has been prepared for the purposes of drawing the attention of researchers who conduct studies in Turkey based on systemic family therapy and of specialists who plan therapy sessions based the relevant theory to the topic and to provide the literature with a topic that finds no examples in the literature of Turkey. How the concept of spirituality can be used in harmony with the systemic family therapy approach and what the techniques of the spirituality-based systemic family therapy are have been prepared by being based on the many studies that have been published abroad. Before beginning the study, theoretical information and basic concepts primarily about systemic family therapies are provided, and then it moves on to spirituality-oriented systemic family therapy by briefly mentioning the concept of spirituality. How the concept of spirituality can be applied to systemic family therapy and the points and ethical situations to which counselors need to pay attention are also mentioned.

  • The Poetry of Loving: Family Therapy and the Bahá'í Faith
    Published in Bahá’í Studies Notebook Vol. 3, number 1-2 (1983) © Association for Bahá’í Studies 1983 The Poetry of Loving: Family Therapy and the Bahá’í Faith Michael Bruwer* Writing about the unification of mankind, Shoghi Effendi said: This will indeed be the fitting climax of that process of integration which, starting with the family, the smallest unit in the scale of human organization, must, after having called successively into being the tribe, the city state and the nation, continue to operate until it culminates in the unification of the whole world, the final object and the crowning glory of human evolution on this planet.1 Let us take a look at this smallest unit—the family—and at family therapy, a way of helping this unit when it is in difficulty. The Family The family is an archetypal pattern of human relationships; is deeply imprinted in us via all sensory modalities; is the most basic bio psycho social Tarot deck of one’s life; is nucleus and pattern; is context (and behaviour is ambiguous out of context); is an internalized set of relationships;2 is like a hologram in the memory and experience of each member of the family is represented the entire family and the ghosts of the previous generations; is a complex of always and only coexisting entities of which the existence of one generates the other—you do not have a husband without a wife, a son without a father, a sibling without another sibling;3 shares a shifting role with the child as the smallest unit of society—the child is in the family and the family is in the child; is the valve through which the generations of humanity flow from all mankind in the past to all mankind in the future; and is a metaphor for the whole human race and for the family of nations.

McKergow: Solution Focused Work as an Aesthetic Solution Focused Work as an Aesthetic Mark McKergow The Centre for Solutions Focus at Work Abstract The current paper looks at Solution Focused (SF) work in a novel way – as an aesthetic (what makes it beautiful?) as opposed to a method (how do you do it?). This term comes from the art world, where different schools of painting can be described as having different aesthetics. Starting with a definition of the term, I propose five elements of an SF aesthetic: brevity, client autonomy, radical acceptance, staying at the surface and valuing small differences.

  • Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy: the Therapeutic Relationship
    Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy The unique relationship between patient and therapist is the main healing factor in psychotherapy. Following C.G.Jung’s pioneering views on the complexity of conscious and unconscious interactions in the therapy process, this book explains the Jungian approach to the therapeutic relationship and the treatment process. Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy: The Therapeutic Relationship shows how taking a Jungian perspective can help deal with the complicated paradoxes of psychotherapy. David Sedgwick outlines a modern Jungian approach to psychotherapy, always with reference to the patient-therapist relationship itself. He considers and criticises key aspects of Jungian and other theoretical perspectives, synthesizing approaches and ideas from across the therapeutic spectrum. This meditation on Jungian therapy will be invaluable to both Jungian and non-Jungian students and practitioners. David Sedgwick is a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the author of The Wounded Healer: Countertransference from a Jungian Perspective (1994) and Jung and Searles: A Comparative Study (1993), and numerous articles and book reviews.
