Changes Made
We may unconsciously judge people when we first see them, based on biases, experiences
Stereotyping
Holds that the family is a system in which all components are interdependent
Family System Approach
Timing is key (has to be precise/can’t be used frequently). Includes optimism, capitalizing on client strengths vs. deficits
Reframing
Resolves with time/repetition
Confusion
Clinician’s feelings, expectations, and attitudes toward the client
Countertransference
Goal: to facilitate the client’s self-actualization
Humanistic Approach
sharing your own doubts/insecurities can grow the therapeutic alliance. Can break down third walls
Sharing Self
One approach we did not use
Behavioral Approach
“Rescuing” the client to fulfill own need to be needed
Over-helping
Behavior then is changed based on a new way of thinking
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
Increases intimacy level and empathetic listening (can come across as parroting/mechanical if not genuine).
Affect
Feeling falls to the caregiver/parent
Inadequacy
Our role is to be supportive, but not unrealistically optimistic
Cheerleading
"No, and those are common symptoms that everyone experiences from time to…time. I do not think that I need any…therapy. Especially not from an SLP, my speech is fine. I should be able to name anything."
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
accompanied by nonverbals and encourages the client to continue/elaborate.
Affirmation
Most common Technique used
Content
a coping strategy when a person feels emotionally overwhelmed
Denial
"Yes it has been really hard on our family. And I’m very worried that she will never get back to being herself again."
Family systems approach
"Yes you are right your speech is fine, however, an SLP works with more than just speech. We work with cognition, language, and swallowing as well. With the injury you sustained from the accident you experienced a TBI, which is a traumatic brain injury."
reframing
What class are we in?
