This process of growth and development among therapist/wives and therapist/husbands is vital and important and is bound to impact their daily work with clients and organizations.","PeriodicalId":347940,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychotherapy and the family","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134116327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although this has resulted in the development of many theories and techniques of therapy, the basic ingredient remains the relationship between the therapist and the patient. Since the latter comes to the former in a state of need, the therapist holds enormous power, which can be used negatively for exploitation and manipulation, or positively for healing and growth. The potential for the abuse of such power makes the value system and beliefs of the therapist vitally important. By being \"congruent,\" the therapist can create a context of trust and caring, which enables the patient to dispel1 his or her fears and begin to explore new growth patterns. Therapy is a deeply intimate and vulnerable experience, requiring sensitivity to one's own state of being as well as to that of the other. It is the meeting of the deepest self of the therapist with the deepest self of the patient or client.","PeriodicalId":347940,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychotherapy and the family","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125282677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article's thesis is that while the idea of the self has fascinated man throughout history, it was Kierkegaard and the existential philosophers who persuasively shifted attention from the essence of man to the nature of his existence and the world of subjective experience. This permitted the emergence of a self which was not merely a product of instinctual drives or of external forces, but was an interacting being, which could be both subject and object at the same time. Major figures in this development include philosophers such as Heidegger, writers such as Sartre, clinicians such as Carl Rogers, sociologists such as George Herben Mead, and theologians such as Tillich. Buber's insightful elaboration of the \"I-Thou\" relationship is felt to be a landmark contribution, underlying many recent developments in humanistic psychology and psychot...","PeriodicalId":347940,"journal":{"name":"Journal of psychotherapy and the family","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130419347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An exploration of the catalytic force of therapy and how it effects the person of the therapist and his use of self generates a number of training implications. A clinical training model, developed at the Family Institute of Virginia, focusing on the Person and Practice of the Therapist, is predicated on the assumption that a therapist is most effective when he uses himself for the mutual advancement of both his clients and himself. The model utilizes the various contexts of a therapist's life, including his clinical, collegial, and familial relationships.
