...Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? There are a multitude of factors that a therapist must consider during the initial consultation. I will describe the procedures of the consultation, the ethical considerations facing the therapist and the particular challenges of the actual consultation itself. As outlined in my previous essay, the initial consultation is perhaps the most important part of the hypnotherapy process. People are different in many ways. They have different likes and dislikes, cultural backgrounds and upbringings. These factors have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives. Therefore there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to hypnotherapy. Personality types, suggestibility and the reason the client has come to you all have an effect on the way they will respond to hypnotherapy, and this all must be taken into account when planning a session. Every person is different and will respond to very different styles of hypnotherapy. We all see the same things, but interpret it differently, and we respond to stimuli in a unique way. What works for one client may have no effect on another, therefore hypnotic inductions must be personalised to suit everyone's needs. It is during the consultation that the therapist gathers all the information needed to write a successful screed which is personalised to the client. At this time, the therapist will assess a client’s personality...

...“Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time?” Year One – Module Three (Word Count – 2226) This essay endeavours to document the importance of the initial consultation within a successful therapeutic treatment plan. It will comprehensively describe ethicality, before applying this fundamental component of treatment to a beneficial, healing and professional environment. It will present, describe and discuss a multitude of, sometimes complex, ethical issues that may face a therapist upon meeting a client for the first time. Lastly, it will conclude with a summary of such matters, and ways in which the therapist should aim to address and manage these ethical factors in an effective and professional manner. The initial consultation is paramount in the potential success of any proposed treatment for each individual client. It is the optimum time for a reputable therapist to assess a myriad of informative aspects and circumstances concerning their client. Foremost, upon the client and therapist meeting, face to face, for the first time, approximately 55% of all communication is projected in a non-verbal manner, via body language (Chrysalis Module Two notes), and this is an integral, and natural basis in the formation of first impressions; both of the client to the therapist, and the therapist to the client. Whilst, the remaining 45% of communication is through the words we choose, and the tone and volume in...

...MAIDSIA14: word count 1996 Why Is The Initial Consultation So Important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? When a person has a specific problem, whether it is a fear or phobia or something they wish to change about themselves, one of their options is to use a hypnotherapist to help them overcome their problem. During the first consultation, the therapist will address the client’s specific needs by conducting an assessment. The assessment is the fundamental base line from which the therapist will use the information needed to design a program specifically tailored for a particular client. During this essay I hope to deliver the importance of the initial consultation between therapist and client including the ethical factors. I would like to discuss the process, what happens at the initial consultation, and how the therapist will gather the required information. I also aim to explore the benefits and use a debate for the more complex ethical issues that therapists face. As well as discovering the reason why the prospective client has thought about hypnotherapy, the therapist is also judging their skills for the appropriate job at hand, and that the client’s goals are obtainable. The initial consultation can be a very powerful tool for both the client and the therapist. First impressions will be formed during the initial conversation which can be in person or over the phone. The client can talk about...

I will discuss the procedures of the initial consultation and how the therapist will gather the information required. I will also look at the ethical considerations that face the therapist and any particular challenges of the actual consultation itself. The initial consultation can be a very powerful tool for both the client and the therapist. In seeing the clients for the first time, some therapists decide to offer a free initial consultation. This should last for about half an hour. There are times when it is not needed as in a one off quit smoking session, but even so it is vital that you gain information about the client’s health and current medication. However it is a personal choice as to whether you offer a free consultation. There are many pros and cons to holding an initial consultation before sessions commence. The main pros include building rapport by meeting the client face to face to assess whether or not you are able to work with them, if you need to consult your supervisor before going ahead, what their main goal is and if you can achieve this or not. You can get to know a client and gain an understanding of their history, including family history and any other therapies they may have already had, especially...

...Introduction For this assignment I am going to be looking at the process of the initial consultation when you first meet with your client and the importance of gaining the relevant information to be able to make an accurate diagnosis to be able to help the client. I will be discussing the importance of the initial consultation in understanding the client’s goals and targets. I will also look at the ethical factors we may come across. initial Consultation As part of our initial consultation it is important to gain relevant knowledge about the client including the reason they seek help, what they want to achieve by attending the sessions and understanding the best way forward through gathering the right information from the client. Firstly, once the client contacts the therapist to request an initial consultation or they are referred by a medical practitioner, I feel it would be resourceful if the documentation, known as the Notation, is forwarded to the client prior to meeting face to face; allowing the therapist to gain relevant personal details, about the client including their background, occupation and family details plus any medical history and details of any previous sessions. Also what is the purpose of the latest request for attending hypnotherapy? This information gained prior to the consultation can give the therapist an idea of where the client’s state of mind is and where they want to be. However the first meeting there are many more questions which need...

...2067 words WHY IS THE INITIAL CONSULTATION SO IMPORTANT? WHAT FACTORS WILL AN ETHICAL THERAPIST COVER AT THIS TIME? BY “Sometimes you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” Y Woon The initial consultation before therapy is one of the most important parts of the whole procedure, as this will form the basis of therapy. This Essay is written to address some of the ethical issues which may arise at the time of the initial consultation. It is the most important meeting and these issues addressed should be of benefit to both parties. I will, in this essay, discuss and explain what should happen during the meeting and highlight some of the ethical issues. This initial meeting is also to ascertain personal circumstance and the communication and understanding between client and therapist. The initial consultation is to find out why the client feels he/she needs therapy and to establish a rapport. As it is the first meeting it is good to determine the continuing relationship which will progress during the therapy. When a therapist first meets with a new client it’s necessary to establish several things in order to know whether they can work together. These include background and personal circumstances of the client, previous experiences (if any) of therapy, medical and psychiatric history and very importantly, why they are seeking therapy. From the therapist side of things it is a means of assessing...

...women. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) (2001) notes in a summary of research done on four continents that as many as 20 to 50 percent of all women in the studies reported experiencing partner violence. But what are the links among domestic violence, health care profession, nurses, and ethics? In moral philosophy, there is a long tradition of debate on whether true moral dilemmas can exist, some arguing that it will always be possible to decide which obligation should prevail. On this concept regardless of the abstract possibility of an ideal resolution and the pragmatic reality that decisions are made and people have to live with them. An ethical dilemma presents a choice that must be made between two mutually exclusive courses of action, each of which is perceived to rest on a moral obligation that carries significant weight for the actor confronting the dilemma. According to Draucker (2002} addresses intimate partner abuse as repeatable and increasing patterns of violence against women by men in their attempts to gain power. She notes that because this abuse occurs in a continuing relationship, or in a newly severed one, the perpetrator may have long-term access to the abused one. Furthermore, she acknowledges the many economic and sociological factors that contribute to...

...CROSSROADS When I read the first draft of this manuscript it provided a genuine " aha" experience. I felt that "tempered radicalism" was a concept that had been waiting to be invented. Meyerson and Scully, in my view, have grasped an important idea and have written about it in a careful and an illuminating way. It's one of those papers, I suspect; that some people will react to by thinking: "I wish I had written that!" Further, I can see others I know well in the field as fitting'the description of the tempered radical, at least in some circumstances and at different times. The reviewers, while suggesting changes, as reviewers do, were also very taken with the paper. It is intellectually interesting, and evocative. It provides us with a perspective on organizational issues that is typically glossed. It opens an arena for organizational analysis that is missed in r most theoretical frameworks. Tempered radicals, Meyerson and Scully argue, are individuals who identify with and are committed to their organizations and also to a cause, community or ideology that is fundamentally different from, and possibly at odds with, the dominant culture of their organization. Their radicalism stimulates them to challenge the status quo. Their temperedness reflects the way they have been toughened by challenges, angered by what they see as injustices or ineffectiveness, and inclined to seek moderation in their interactions with members closer to the centre of organizational values and orientations...
