Document Summary

Decisional counseling and emotional understanding: there is a common limitation in the problem-solving models, particularly those close to the original trait-and-factor framework, in that insuf cient attention is paid to the emotional aspects of the decision. Very few of us will be satis ed if our decisions re ect only rational cognitive processes. Decisions require emotional energy, and this is a critical part of establishing newly created decisions in our long-term memory. Thus, the fourth and fth stages of the counseling session need to give special attention to re ection of feeling and how emotions relate to the actions a client might take after the interview in the real world. Cognitive and emotional balance sheet: the balance sheet, created by the australian leon mann, is an extension of logical consequences. Each alternative is written down in a list of gains and losses.
