Document Summary
Three approached to psychotherapy: rogers, perls and ellis (1965) Problems: rogers: should she disclose to her daughter that she is sexually active, perls: they just argue, ellis: she expresses her frustration about not attracting the kind of men whom she would like to meet. Working alliance-agreement on what it is that is being worked on. Use of ;reflection" and clarification" helps to lead to understanding. Approached differ in value placed on importance on interpretation". Free expression of feeling on part of the client. Use methods to help unblock" or remove" repression. Therapist makes interpretation about the transference" relationship- that is, unconscious" feelings or ways of relating from childhood that have been transferred onto others. Interpersonal therapy (ipt) focuses on relationships but the emphasis is more on the here and now" and on the future" rather than exploring the past. Now sometimes referred to as rational emotive behaviour therapy. Beck tends to be more collaborative" in approach.
