8. I. INTRODUCTION

9. Until emotions are dealt with… Speech and language Emotional issues

10. We can’t just skim over our clients’ emotional issues…

11. Robinson, 2014:

12. DiLollo & Naimeyer, 2014: ** • World Health Organization (WHO) has a health classification system: • International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)

13. ICF proposes:

14. Haynes & Pindzola, 2012, pp. 45-46:** • There is an unfortunate tradition of “sweetness and light” in client counseling. A person has a problem. The person is sad and depressed, and we try to cheer that person up. Sometimes this degenerates into a debate, with the interviewer trying to persuade the person not to feel miserable. A person who feels depressed, anxious, and fearful does not want to count his or her blessings.

15. Haynes & Pindzola (2012; continued)** • That person wants you to feel miserable too, and to share and identify with him or her on the same level. Thus, you are given a basis for communication…start with where the person is…and agree that it is a sad state of affairs that would make anyone sad and depressed. Then, using this bond…you can assist in solving the problem. The main ingredient is empathy.

16. B. Counseling by:** • 1. Informing • 2. Persuading • 3. Listening and Valuing—help clients become congruent

17. 1. Informing

18. A problem with this is that…

19. A favorite quote from Maya Angelou:

20. 2. Persuading

21. 3. Helping clients become congruent

23. For clients who are feeling a lot of emotion (e.g., anger, sorrow):

24. For example: (Chabon & Cohn, 2012)

25. II. OBTAINING INFORMATION** A. Case History Questionnaires Ideally, we can read these and think about clients before they come Saves time during the first interview; makes you seem prepared “I understand from this form that...can you tell me more about that?”

26. Some limitations—people may not fill out the form accurately because they don’t:

27. B. Observation

28. C. Interviews** 1. Introduction An interview is a serious conversation between two parties conducted for one or more important purposes. There is 1) a purpose, and 2) a plan of action, and 3) good communication

29. 2. 3.

32. Factors interfering with retention of information included…

33. Help people remember info by:

34. In addition…** Make recommendations specific rather than general E.g. “Have your child read a list of 10 /r/ words once a day” instead of “have your child practice at home” Say to the person “If you were to explain this to ****, what would you say?”

35. The very best thing:

36. III. INITIAL STAGES OF COUNSELING

37. IV. TERMINATING THERAPY 1. 2.

38. 3. Say something like: ** I’m glad we’ve been able to work together. I think that perhaps, at this time, due to ZYZ reason, continued therapy is not the best use of your time and money. I think you might be happier/better served by ------ person/facility.
