The Couch - Welcome to the Psychedelic 70's

Counseling Specializations and Multidisciplinary Teams

I think I'm gonna let you win. All yours!


Sike.....

One academic paper...one line at a time...I've got all night.

The counseling profession is young in comparison to many other fields.

Is it really? I thought it dated back centuries..

Sigmund Freud published his theory of psychoanalysis in 1896.

Interesting.

The discipline has evolved significantly since its infancy and many therapeutic techniques are supported by strong empirical evidence.

Is that written in your paper?

Yep.

Mental health professionals strive to utilize the key elements of wellness, resilience, and prevention in treatment modalities.

I thought this couch was closed?

Is a couch ever really closed?

Rogers and Perl launched an interest in these elements by developing client- or person-centered interventions which cast the client as “a partner in the healing process rather than a patient on which a cure is imposed by the professional” (Smith and Robinson, 1995, p. 158).

Chopin is writing her paper on the couch. Ha.

T just said we will make a list on what to tell the psychiatric nurse when I go. Guess that's as close as I can get to her just speaking for me. Good enough.

Okay...T is working on the assignments I gave her for her website tonight. Just got an email from her.

Oh yeah...

They postulate that more experiential data related specifically to wellness will provide solid evidence of the counseling profession’s ability to enact holistic interventions in order to promote optimum health.

Ah! Your both doing homework. Cute.

Oh shut up, you.

If I suddenly disappear-it's because I just took like 300 MG's of Valerian Root Extract.

Yawn.

No worries. I need to seriously finish this paper...the Grammys are making it hard...lol!

I don't have it on. H is watching Shameless.

Okay...I'm going to dreamland.

Goodnight. It was a fun racing you to the end.

Chopin was that even english? Nighty night Jersey

Academic English, muthaf***a. Do you speak it?

However, sufficient evidence exists to provide a basis of practical methodology for wellness.

Nope, we only speak american down in these parts.

Mental health counseling is a younger subset of the profession.

mental health huh?
