Document Summary
Trait: a table, relatively enduring personality characteristic. Clinical application: prochaska and diclemente"s transtheoretical model of change, basic stages: Menu of options (e. g. , harm reduction and offering clients a choice) Examples of common clinical errors that are not empathetic: Develop discrepancy between client"s goals or values and their current behaviour: You"ve told me that keeping custody of your daughter and being a good parent are the most important things to you. How does your heroin use fit in with that? . So sometimes when you drink during the week, you can"t get out of bed to work. But you enjoy your work and doing well in your job is very important to you . Rolling with resistance: resistance is associated with poor therapeutic and poor treatment outcomes, avoid resistance by reflecting the context of what the person just said. Client: i"m not going to quit drinking . Therapist: you don"t see abstinence as right for you now .
