3 years and still really helpful for my report on Gestalt Therapy in our major subject Psychotherapy! Thank you for this short but very concise video, Ma'am. Really helpful for Psychology students like me 💛
Thank you so much for this 🙏 your ability to create a warm, welcoming, curious, and soft space for exploration of the delicate comes through so beautifully in this video. Truly masterful. Thank you.
the relationship between the therapist and THE CLIENT, interesting business language within psychology. There is no a individual, human being, NO, is a CLIENT
The word “client” is typically used in place of the more traditional “patient” to avoid the implication that there is something wrong with a person who seeks therapy. What word would you use instead?
Love your focus on acknowledging the personhood of the person receiving therapy. I think, best case scenario, the word “client” emphasizes that there is still a power dynamic between psychologist and psychologized, and a transaction occurring if not always monetary. So it’s a matter of the professional reminding themselves of an obligation to those they serve. But you’re absolutely right to question this, most don’t take it as seriously as they should.
@@linotte_ This marketing language refers to a person who constantly seeks out a therapist but never ends up divorcing him because he is a "client" addicted to analysis. This language implies that the cure of the patient means no financial gain for the psychologist or therapist.
I think it relates more with in the aspect of professionalism. Although you both share a relationship within that room, there are still boundaries to be observed and roles to be considered.
