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

For this task I will consider Carl Roger's individual focused strategy 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 strategy his hypotheses are related with the Humanistic brain research it is additionally connected with Maslow(1908-1970) and phenomenological approach. Phenomenology is a philosophical evaluation of the individual it was created by Husserl (1975), the emphasis is on the emotional experience. The strategy included requires the expert to suspend their suspicion and understanding of the customer's reality, consequently permitting the customer to decipher and investigate their own encounters and considerations. It is imperative to consider the setting in which mental speculations conceptualized and created. Humanistic brain research created in the mechanical 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 layout of the beginnings of the humanistic hypothesis, that these were in the rich 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 destitution are jobless or destitute. The idea of self actualisation which is viewed as important by analysts, for example, Rogers can be investigated according to lesbian ladies and how society conceptualizes them. Homosexuality has been seen by psychotherapists and therapists as a dysfunctional behavior, and was considered as such until 1974 when the American Psychiatric Association declassified it, anyway there was significant resistance to this from psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and ‘medical model' specialists ( Mcleod J, 1998), in-certainty psychotherapy was utilized to attempt to ‘cure' homosexuality. In spite of the fact that crafted by Rogers' has supported advancement and has been related with development away from the past clinical model of psychological instability, one the downsides of Rogerian individual focused treatment out lined by Ivey et al (1997) is that it is a ‘highly verbal' procedure, which is over-worried about the more profound importance of life as opposed to handling issues and discovering arrangements. In this way it may not be fit to all customers particularly those with psychological wellness issues and so forth. Roger's treatment known as ‘person focused' and non-order meant to change the level of influence towards that of the customer, and to regard the person as a ‘client' as opposed to a patient. Anyway this point can be bantered concerning whether the perceived leverage is really moved and the control is with the beneficiary, as opposed to the supplier of the treatment. Analysis of treatments, for example, Rogerian, psychodynamic and psychological conduct as indicated by Ivey et al (1997) is that they place duty regarding the issue with the customer as opposed to thinking about basic, political and natural issues that are applicable to the customers experience. The individual focused strategy corresponding to lesbian ladies should be applied such that is touchy to them, in this way 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, besides cliché recognitions about lesbianism. Women's activists scrutinize models of the helping relationship which have their starting points in the white working class male belief system, they relate this to the manner in which a male centric culture abuses ladies into agreeable jobs, Banks (1999) additionally questions whether male advisors can approve a female customers encounters in a male ruled society. Hetro-sexual ladies can likewise persecute lesbians through negative presumptions and homophobia that can prompt impressive our own qualities and suspicions 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, unrestricted positive respect and compassion, and its perspective on human instinct is sure and idealistic in contrast with Freudian brain science. The center conditions out lined by Rogers has a basic impact in building a remedial relationship, between the advisor and the customer. From my expert experience when filling in as instruction social laborer identifying with a high school 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, sympathy and unlimited 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 adjust to the standards of a white, hetero society and in this manner place states of worth on them. Unrestricted positive respect which is tolerating the customers encounters without judgment is basic in building a helpful relationship, in any case if the instructor has retained negative, homophobic suspicions about homosexuality, from the general public that he/she lives in then these may intentionally or unwittingly be moved on to the customer. Humanistic psychotherapist Don Clark (1987) has communicated that remedial lack of bias is difficult to keep up, since we have accepted society's negative generalizations of homosexuality, he has expressed that â€Å"it is pretentious to expect that advocates who have been educated about important ideas, for example, unlimited positive respect can apply them with gay-lesbian customers in the event 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 deal with her own sexuality, in light of adverse generalizations and disgrace 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 advocate may thusly need to empower the lesbian lady to reestablish her confidence and her idea of being a lady, the conventional 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 act as society anticipates that ladies should do. Bradshaw (1998) has characterized the idea of ‘Toxic disgrace' according to disguised homophobia inside the self-idea. This idea can't be completely comprehended without the utilization of a progressively diverse way to deal with guiding on the grounds that it expresses that the self idea can become, delicate and a bogus self idea can create, through disavowal, this might be cognizant or oblivious however it will be because of the dread of disclosure. Harmful disgrace can prompt the improvement of guards which can prompt liquor, substance misuse, self destruction endeavors, removing oneself from others, underachievement or over-accomplishment and so on. Being utilitarian or broken individual is especially pertinent to how lesbian ladies' personality and self idea creates, turning out to be practical person requires having the option to utilize ones own organismic esteeming process, which amplifies the possibility to develop and turn into the genuine self. The broken person lives to meet the estimations of others to gain love and regard. Coming out as a lesbian in this manner is full of nervousness and even threat of dismissal by family, companions and network. The essential inquiry is will they be esteemed by society on the off chance that they come out as Lesbian? The organismic need to come out and be acknowledged as a lesbian ought to be encouraged by the specialist to empower the customer to acknowledge their genuine personality; anyway the customer ought to be prepared to do this time permitting. In this manner acknowledgment from the specialist or social laborer or other expert is a basic initial step. Anyway specialists just as different experts, for example, social laborers can without much of a stretch persecute lesbian ladies, a model from my training experience when working with the Education Welfare administration for a situation where the kid was not going to class normally, during the home visit the customer uncovered that her relationship with her better half had separated and that she had begun a lesbian relationship, this quickly driven me to make the supposition that the youngster'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 suppositions that can prompt segregation and persecution, when working in an asylum for defenseless ladies that had been the casualties of aggressive behavior at home, a Black lady with four youngsters went to the middle it was expected consequently by the individual from staff bringing down her history that the oppressive accomplice was male. The lady found that she needed to clarify that she was in a lesbian relationship, and the oppressive accomplice was another lady. This is a genuine model where social presumptions and generalizations where ladies are seen to be agreeable, latent people that are the casualties of aggressive behavior at home as opposed to its culprits. It additionally shows that assum
