My modality . . .

I used whatever would work from whatever "system" . . . tending more toward family systems stuff than a lot of other but using everything I could use to help a couple or family.

Statistics--not really. I had very few cases which didn't seem to go any where; which didn't seem to improve at all. And usually, there was a long line of other theapists who'd already failed with those cases, too. Counseling works worst with those who need it most.

Some people are terrified enough of change, regardless of how painful their present--that getting them to change is VERY difficult.

Actually, that's one reason I'm not that into counseling at present. MOST people seem to want to feel good temporarily without wanting to do the work to change the underlying reasons.

I virtually always got significant change and faster than my professors, colleagues or other counselors the clients had seen. But I was usually greedy--wanting MORE change, faster. My pathology, probably.


Could probably count on one hand.
