Developing and applying theories in a pluralistic society – The Person Centred Method

For this task I will consider Carl Roger's individual focused technique and it's application to lesbian ladies in a pluralist society, I will draw upon the hypothetical casing work recently utilized in my introduction. Carl Rogers (1902-1987) was the author of the individual focused technique his speculations are related with the Humanistic brain science it is likewise connected with Maslow(1908-1970) and phenomenological approach. Phenomenology is a philosophical evaluation of the individual it was created by Husserl (1975), the attention is on the abstract understanding. The strategy included requires the expert to suspend their supposition and translation of the customer's reality, along these lines permitting the customer to decipher and investigate their own encounters and contemplations. It is critical to consider the setting in which mental hypotheses conceptualized and created. Humanistic brain science created in the modern age and in the 50's and 60's it in this way puts extraordinary significance on the person as an individual taking a stab at freedom, self actualisation and their most extreme potential. Dryden et al (1989) have likewise given a diagram of the sources of the humanistic hypothesis, that these were in the well-off time of the 50's and 60's in California, terms, for example, self actualisation, can be only a ‘slogan' that is applied with no genuine significance, when differentiated between the prosperous, hopeful society of California, it can have an alternate importance for those individuals that are in neediness are jobless or destitute. The idea of self actualisation which is viewed as essential by clinicians, for example, Rogers can be investigated comparable to lesbian ladies and how society conceptualizes them. Homosexuality has been seen by psychotherapists and specialists as a psychological instability, and was considered as such until 1974 when the American Psychiatric Association declassified it, anyway there was extensive resistance to this from psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and ‘medical model' therapists ( Mcleod J, 1998), in-truth psychotherapy was utilized to attempt to ‘cure' homosexuality. Despite the fact that crafted by Rogers' has energized progress and has been related with development away from the past clinical model of psychological maladjustment, one the downsides of Rogerian individual focused treatment out lined by Ivey et al (1997) is that it is a ‘highly verbal' strategy, which is over-worried about the more profound importance of life instead of handling issues and discovering arrangements. Subsequently it may not be fit to all customers particularly those with emotional well-being issues and so forth. Roger's treatment known as ‘person focused' and non-mandate meant to change the level of influence towards that of the customer, and to regard the person as a ‘client' instead of a patient. Anyway this point can be bantered regarding whether the perceived leverage is really moved and the control is with the beneficiary, instead of the supplier of the treatment. Analysis of treatments, for example, Rogerian, psychodynamic and subjective conduct as indicated by Ivey et al (1997) is that they place duty regarding the issue with the customer as opposed to thinking about auxiliary, political and natural issues that are applicable to the customers experience. The individual focused technique comparable to lesbian ladies should be applied such that is touchy to them, along these lines if the advisor is male he should know that he doesn't force his own suppositions and translation onto the customer, right off the bat about his thoughts regarding ladies' jobs inside society and as nurturers, spouses and moms, furthermore cliché recognitions about lesbianism. Women's activists condemn models of the helping relationship which have their roots in the white working class male belief system, they relate this to the manner in which a man centric culture persecutes ladies into accommodating jobs, Banks (1999) likewise questions whether male specialists can approve a female customers encounters in a male ruled society. Hetro-sexual ladies can likewise persecute lesbians through negative suppositions and homophobia that can prompt overwhelming our own qualities and presumptions about lesbian connections, McLeod (1998) gives a genuine model where a female specialist attempted to effectively urge her lesbian customer to date men. The individual focused methodology places specific accentuation on the utilization of the center conditions, genuiness, unlimited positive respect and sympathy, and its perspective on human instinct is sure and idealistic in contrast with Freudian brain research. The center conditions out lined by Rogers has a fundamental impact in building a remedial relationship, between the advisor and the customer. From my expert experience when filling in as training social specialist identifying with a young pregnancy, the young lady was fifteen years of age and Asian. I was shocked when she said that she thought she was a lesbian, anyway working with the youngster and applying Rogers center conditions, of genuiness, compassion and unrestricted constructive respect, empowered me to understand that individuals need to find their sexuality and who the genuine individual is; society can put pressure on youngsters to fit in with the standards of a white, hetero society and along these lines place states of worth on them. Unlimited positive respect which is tolerating the customers encounters without judgment is fundamental in building a remedial relationship, notwithstanding if the advisor has ingested negative, homophobic suspicions about homosexuality, from the general public that he/she lives in then these may intentionally or unknowingly be moved on to the customer. Humanistic psychotherapist Don Clark (1987) has communicated that restorative impartiality is difficult to keep up, since we have accepted society's negative generalizations of homosexuality, he has expressed that â€Å"it is pompous to expect that advocates who have been instructed about important ideas, for example, unrestricted positive respect can apply them with gay-lesbian customers on the off chance that they don't know about their own hetero or homophobia biases† (Davies and Neal,1996) A lesbian ladies may for instance think that its hard to grapple with her own sexuality, as a result of adverse generalizations and shame related with it, â€Å"Lesbian ladies are raised to see themselves as a half individual without a man, they may consider union with be a way to self-awareness, grown-up hood, opportunity, and motherhood†Ã¢â‚¬ ¦. ( Davies and Neal,1996) the instructor may in this manner need to empower the lesbian lady to reestablish her confidence and her idea of being a lady, the customary female jobs, as mother and spouse may not be generalizations that she desires. The effect of Homophobia on the self idea of a lesbian lady will make states of worth, in this way lesbians may feel they are not commendable people on the off chance that they are not hetero, don't have youngsters, have a male accomplice and carry on as society anticipates that ladies should do. Bradshaw (1998) has characterized the idea of ‘Toxic disgrace' comparable to disguised homophobia inside the self-idea. This idea can't be completely comprehended without the utilization of an increasingly varied way to deal with advising in light of the fact that it expresses that the self idea can become, delicate and a bogus self idea can create, through forswearing, this might be cognizant or oblivious however it will be because of the dread of revelation. Poisonous disgrace can prompt the advancement of protections which can prompt liquor, substance misuse, self destruction endeavors, removing oneself from others, underachievement or over-accomplishment and so forth. Being utilitarian or useless person is especially applicable to how lesbian ladies' personality and self idea creates, turning out to be practical individual requires having the option to utilize ones own organismic esteeming process, which augments the possibility to develop and turn into the genuine self. The useless individual lives to meet the estimations of others to get love and regard. Coming out as a lesbian accordingly is laden with nervousness and even risk of dismissal by family, companions and network. The essential inquiry is will they be esteemed by society in the event that they come out as Lesbian? The organismic need to come out and be acknowledged as a lesbian ought to be encouraged by the advisor to empower the customer to acknowledge their genuine character; anyway the customer ought to be prepared to do this time permitting. In this way acknowledgment from the advisor or social specialist or other expert is a basic initial step. Anyway advisors just as different experts, for example, social laborers can without much of a stretch mistreat lesbian ladies, a model from my training experience when working with the Education Welfare administration for a situation where the youngster was not going to class consistently, during the home visit the customer uncovered that her relationship with her significant other had separated and that she had begun a lesbian relationship, this quickly driven me to make the supposition that the kid's non-participation might be identified with this new relationship. On reflection I saw that it was so natural to hop to an end identifying with same sex connections and would I have made a similar supposition if the relationship was with an accomplice of the other gender? Drawing from my own experience I notice how effectively experts from helping associations can make suspicions that can prompt separation and persecution, when working in an asylum for defenseless ladies that had been the casualties of abusive behavior at home, a Black lady with four youngsters went to the inside it was expected consequently by the individual from staff bringing down her history that the injurious accomplice was male. The lady found that she needed to clarify that she was in a lesbian relationship, and the damaging accomplice was another lady. This is a genuine model where social suspicions and generalizations where ladies are seen to be compliant, inactive people that are the survivors of abusive behavior at home instead of its culprits. It additionally shows that assum
