Document Summary

Word of caution listen rst solve problems later avoid perfect solutions help them nd their own solution avoid jumping to the right response too soon adapt your style to suit di erent individuals / cultures. Personal vs. professional self using skills in everyday life you can still use your skills to help but you can"t have any dual relationships therapeutic vs. therapy remember your role. I am not my friend"s therapist (that would be a con ict of interest) similarly, i am not my patient"s friend. Carlstedt (2011) found that of 23,034 clients who underwent a total of 218,331 psychotherapy sessions approx. 21% only went to the rst session and if they were immigrants, 50% don"t return. 25% attended 5-10 sessions most completed therapy by the 35th session (still less than a year) implications.
