List five techniques from Gestalt therapy. Define and give an example of each.  Can you think of a way you might use this with a child or group of children? Explain the importance of “contact” in Gestalt play therapy.​ If you counsel with children, do you believe that you might use the Gestalt approach to play therapy? Explain why or why not?

This week we will look at  Gestalt. Behavioral, and Reality Counseling Theories.  Gestalt has many useful techniques.  The empty chair is a way to get a student to focus on the issues of conflict with parents or other students.  There are others that you may find useful. The idea of peeling away the layers of a person’s issues relates to the complexity of adolescents nowadays.

 

My first job as a public school teacher was in special education.  And the first time I read a behavior improvement plan, I had no idea what I was to do with it. Then in my very first counseling class, I learned about behavior counseling theory and the behavior improvement plans suddenly made sense.  Behavior theory and the process and techniques associated with it are an important part of child counseling. But, remember, it is only a part.

 

In my opinion, Reality Therapy is the most researched and commercially applied theory in counseling.  It can be used in many ways but is limited to mild to moderate mental health issues. Clients like my granddaughter who has conduct disorder with limited prosocial emotions (see DSM 5) do not respond to Reality Therapy due to the lack of conscience and remorse for hurting others.  However, among the students I see everyday, almost all of them would respond to reality therapy when applied to their presenting problems. Reality Therapy, practiced with fidelity, is very useful in counseling practice.

 

 

Please respond to the following questions.

 

Chapter 7

 

  • List five techniques from Gestalt therapy. Define and give an example of each.  Can you think of a way you might use this with a child or group of children?
  • Explain the importance of “contact” in Gestalt play therapy.​ If you counsel with children, do you believe that you might use the Gestalt approach to play therapy? Explain why or why not?

 

 

Chapter 8

 

  • Describe the procedure (process) of behavioral counseling with examples of each step.
  • Outline a contingency contract for a child who is not completing her homework.

 

 

Chapter 9 

 

  • Outline the eight steps of reality therapy by listing the steps and providing examples of what would happen in each step.
  • Explain Glasser’s definitions of responsibility and reality. Can you give any examples from personal experience or working with clients?

PART 1: WHAT IS THE VISION I HAVE FOR MY LIFE? Creating a Vision Statement This statement reflects your preferred vision of the future, what you desire, not what you predict. It reflects your dreams. It should be broader than the present. As yourself – what motivates you? Consider this question as you think about your future. It should be a picture of where you see yourself, maybe 5 or ten years from now. It should reflect your values and your mission. A vision statement isn’t to be confused with goals. It is not the steps but rather it is what you will see your life might be like in the future. It should be about 2-3 sentences at most. Read it over several times to see if it feels right, is a good fit for you and what you aspire to do in the world. You can begin with one of these sentences: My vision will be…… I believe….. I will…….

PART 2: WHAT IS THE MISSION I BELIEVE I AM MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH HERE ON EARTH?

Creating a Mission Statement

Your mission statement should be a succinct and brief one or two sentences that you can remember that provides direction for your life.  To write your mission statement, review your core values and choose verbs (action words) to create your statement.

Here are some sample mission statements:

  1. “I live to serve my talents as communicator, artist, and independent businesswoman. I create balance in work, play, and community. I inspire those I interact with.” http://www.franklincovey.com/msb/inspired/anonymous
  2. “To serve as a leader, live a balanced life, and apply ethical principles to make a significant difference.” Denise Morrison, CEO, Campbell Soup Company

iii.        “To use my gifts of intelligence, charisma, and serial optimism to cultivate the self-worth and net-worth of women around the world.” Amanda Steinberg, Founder, Dailyworth.com http://www.fastcompany.com/3026791/dialed/personal-mission-statements-of-5-famous-ceos-and-why-you-should-write-one-to

You can use one of the following ways to start your sentence:

  1. My mission is to…
  2. I believe…

iii.        I live to…

PART 3: WHAT ARE MY 5 CORE VALUES?

Uncovering and Diagramming My Core Values

Discover your core values by working through the following mindful questions. By the end you should have 5 core values that reflect what is most important to you. Take time to think, reflect and write in each section before you write down your values and then create a visual to represent each value.

Step 1: Identify the times when you were happiest.

  • What were you doing?
  • Were you with other people? Who?
  • What other factors contributed to your happiness?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Identify the times when you were most proud.

  • Why were you proud?
  • Did other people share your pride? Who?
  • What other factors contributed to your feelings of pride?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Identify the times when you were most fulfilled and satisfied.

  • What need or desire was fulfilled?
  • How and why did the experience give your life meaning?
  • What other factors contributed to your feelings of fulfillment?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Looking back at these three questions, what words, ideas or feelings seem to re-occur? Determine your top 5 values, based on your experiences of happiness, pride, and fulfillment. Ask yourself, “why is each experience truly important and memorable?”  Use the following list of common personal values to help you get started – and aim for 5 top values. (As you work through, you may find that some of these naturally combine. For instance, if you value philanthropy, community, and generosity, you might say that service to others is one of your top values.) Look for themes or common ideas that keep surfacing in these values and explain in your own words what this value means to you:

For Example: “Truth: Some people are skilled liars. I am not. I function best when people are direct and honest. I make it clear in conversation and in writing that truth is necessary in my world, no matter how painful. This is probably why I thrive as a New Yorker.” https://www.inc.com/kevin-daum/define-your-personal-core-values-5-steps.html Image retrieved from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas

LISTS OF VALUES TO CONSIDER

 

 

 

Step 5: Visualize for your values. What colours, symbols or pictures represent these values? Are they in a line or circle, in the shape of a hand print or something else? List your 5 values here along with any descriptions, images, photos, music that represent those values to you.
