A Bigger Picture
Perspective
This course has impacted my
counseling style by giving me a deeper understanding of the characteristics
associated with a wide variety of diagnoses from depression to anorexia (Pinel,
2012); uncovering the complexities of each condition has been fascinating. This
course has given me insight into characteristics, coping mechanism and behaviour
patterns associated with clients from infant to elderly.
Coming from a strictly
behavioural background, it has become increasingly clear to me that the
connection between mind and body is very powerful. I found Sigelman and Rider
(2012) to be particularly insightful when it came to depicting the holistic
perspective and cyclical relationship between mind and body.
Sigelman and Rider’s concept of
social norms as a contributing factor to parenting style was insightful and
relevant for me as a child-behaviour therapist; understanding the various
perspectives has allowed me to be an active part of trouble-shooting, and
parental support. A large part of my role is the education and training of
parents; gaining insight into the various styles of attachment, and parenting
was both relevant and informative.
As before I find myself learning
towards alternative therapies (that is, alternative to medication) like diet,
exercise, conversational therapy, behavioural intervention and so on; but after
having taken this course, I appreciate that though medication should be a last
resort, it is the missing piece of the puzzle for some individuals. The ability
to know when to make a referral, is a very valuable (actually, an essential)
skill.
