Document Summary
Developed a reputation of being a very good therapist. Others have tried to analyze his methods and they have determined that there were certain types of techniques that he was using consistently. Took a patient who fainted around women to a restaurant with him and his wife to try and get him to overcome his fainting, kept telling him when he should faint and the guy never ended up fainting. After that night the guy never had a problem with fainting when he went out on a date. Many people thought the guy didn"t have a severe enough problem to begin with. Consists of doing something to change the meaning that the person attributes to the experiences they have. Usually want to do this when a person has a negative meaning that should be positive and vice versa. Sometimes in therapy it becomes diicult for clients to talk about a certain situation/topic for various reasons (embarrassment, tension, etc. )
