,QUESTION 1
The concept of reflexivity (Smith, 2006) as applied in
counselling suggest - - - - -
(a) that an understanding of the counselling process and its
facilitation is something that is accomplished through
internal dialogue.
(b) that counselling practices should reflect detachment of the
counsellor’s self and make the process more visible.
(c) that counsellors should engage in constant scrutiny of “what
they know” and “how they know” (d) that only the
client’s frame of reference takes precedence in the
counselling process.
(1) (b) & (d)
(2) (a), (b) & (c)
(3) (b), (c) & (d)
(4) (a) & (c)
The correct answer is 4
• By reflecting feelings a professional counsellor can help
the client become aware of the emotions experienced in
relation to the issue at hand.
• Reflecting feelings can promote the development of
accurate empathy and help to create a safe environment
for the client.
• To reflect feelings one must be able to recognize and put
words to those feeling states observed in the client.
To aid in identifying a client’s feelings:
Pay attention to the affective component of the client’s
communication
Pay attention to the client’s behaviour (e.g., posture,
tone of voice, facial expression)
Use a broad range of words to
correctly identify the client’s emotions
,Silently name the client’s feeling(s) to
yourself
When reflecting feelings to your client:
Use an appropriate introductory phrase (e.g., sounds like...., you
feel...., it seems .... etc)
Add a feeling word or emotional label to the stem
Add a context or brief paraphrase to anchor or broaden the
reflection
Pay attention to the tense (present tense reflections can often be
more powerful)
Do not repeat the client’s exact words
Reflect mixed emotions
Check out the accuracy of the reflection of feeling with the client
QUESTION 2
According to Stevens (1996, an article provided in the Reader),
distinctive issues which arise from the experience of being a self-
aware and existing human individual refer to - - - - -
(1) humanistic concerns
(2) moral issues
(3) meaninglessness
(4) existential concerns
The correct answer is 4
Existential concerns operate on the belief that inner conflict
within a person is due to that individual's confrontation with
the givens of existence. These givens are: the inevitability of
death, freedom its attendant responsibility, existential
isolation, and finally meaninglessness. These four givens, also
referred to as ultimate concerns, form the body of existential
psychotherapy and compose the framework in which a
, therapist conceptualises a client's problem in order to
develop a method of treatment.
QUESTION 3
When people engage with and encounter others they bring parts
of themselves into the context of relating and create new realities
and ways of being that are peculiar to that interactional space.
The concept that best describes this process is.
(1) complexity
(2) diversity
(3) co-generation of relationships
(4) traditions and habits
The correct answer is 3
A co-generation relationship means we sit and talk with each
other, especially those with whom we may think we have the
greatest differences. However, talking together all too often
means debating, discussing with a view to convincing the
other, arguing for our point of view, examining pro's and
con's. In a co-generation relationship the intention is not to
advocate but to inquire; not to argue but to explore; not to
convince but to discover.
QUESTION 4
Collaborating across sectors is necessary and important because
it - - - - -
(a) enables counsellors to recognise which counselling aspects
are universal and which are specific to a professional group.
(b) draws attention to the usefulness of activating other
professional role-players in order to adequately assist
clients.
(c) improves knowledge of the network resources and
multidisciplinary services that are available to enhance
intervention services that can be rendered to clients .
