Psychology

As we moved from the assessment phase to the \"therapy\" part ofcounseling, we have had an opportunity to take a look at some ofthe different theories/types of counseling.

There are few graduate students in social sciences who have notseen the 1964 movie “Three approaches to psychotherapy”, a filmdeveloped by Everett Shostrom about the world of counseling andpsychotherapy. This movie shows a real client “Gloria” beinginterviewed in turn by psychotherapists Carl Rogers(Person-Centered Therapy), Albert Ellis (Rational Emotive Therapy)and Fritz Perls (Gestalt Therapy).

As we discuss “helping” and “intervention” please see how eachtherapist approaches Gloria and her concerns in the links below.Look past the trappings of the early 1960s--the grainy black andwhite film, attire, and the ever present cigarette smoke—

1. What therapeutic intervention appears most helpful and whatare the pros and cons of each approach?

2. How would you do, as a client, with a therapist who mainlylistened in a non-committal way?

3. How would you respond to a therapist who is highly structuredin their approach tackling rational and irrational beliefsystems?

4. How would you react to a therapist who is very directive?
