What would you be inclined to say to Loretta based on what she has told you privately? As her therapist, I'd remind Loretta of her right to privacy as a client and reiterate that, I’m legally obligated to keep information discussed in our sessions confidential (with the exception of the belief a client may cause physical harm to them or others) (Corey, 2009, p. 41). Then, would explain the therapy process and offer the option of individual counseling (helps build trust and encourages more disclosure). Lastly, I’d ask her a few questions to gain clarity to what she was thinking, doing and feeling (Corey, 2009, p. 12).
I 'm certain I would begin with Psychoanalytic therapy to learn of any significant event(s) of each of their past, that may influence current behavior (Corey, 2009, p. 10-11). More than likely, Gestalt therapy will also be used to help my clients gain self-awareness (Corey, 2009, p. 12). The final approach hasn’t yet been identified. Would you encourage Loretta to divulge what she had told you privately in a later session with Bart? Why or why not? I would not encourage Loretta either way, to tell or not. I would take the focus off of her affair and marriage, and place the focus on her. We would work on goals, self-development and self-awareness. It isn’t my place to tell her what she should or should not do. I’m there to help guide her through a process that empowers her to make informed decisions that lead to beneficial outcomes. 1320 Would the element of “the other man” pressuring Loretta to make a decision have a bearing on your intervention in this case? The pressure of “the other man” wouldn’t impact my intervention other than encouraging Loretta to allow time for the therapy process to work before making any major life altering decisions. Corey, G.
