Transference Vs Counter-transference
“The only really serious difficulty he has to meet lie in the management of the
transference”—S. Freud
![Page 17: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Love
Client openly declares she has fallen in love with the counselor!
What do you do?
![Page 19: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
First Option
This is a nice couple. Initiate a more permanent union.
![Page 20: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Second Option
Discharge the client. Right away…
![Page 21: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Third Option
Continue Treatment?
![Page 22: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Discussion
What about that first option?– Against the law!!– Harmful to the client!– Did we mention it is against the law?
![Page 23: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The second option is not against the law!!
What is the client falls in love with the second therapist?
What happens to the recovery and the hard work and time invested in the treatment at this point?
Could discharging damage the client?
![Page 24: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Therapeutic third outcome…
What could come from continuing treatment? What is the counselor role? Should the counselor explore his own
feelings? Should the counselor just stay professional
and not discuss his feelings toward the client?
![Page 25: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ethical Choices
What if you don’t like your client? What if they do things you do not like?
![Page 26: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Working With Children
“I want to go home with you….” “I hate you..” “Nobody wants me….”
What ethics follow with working with children?
![Page 27: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Working with couples..
Special considerations for couple counseling Who does the couple counseling? What if you want to take sides?
![Page 28: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Family Counseling
Special considerations for family counseling– What are they?
![Page 29: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Group Counseling
Confidentiality Putting a group together
![Page 30: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Counter-Transference
Therapy is never a truly reciprocal relationship.
The therapist must be cognizant of his own emotional responses to his client.
The therapist must analyze these feelings in order to discover as much as he can about why they are being elicited!
![Page 31: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How Counter-Transference Can Help
In analyzing the counter-transference the therapist can garner information about the way the patient may be affecting others in his/her life.
The idea of even admitting the presence of counter-transference feelings, in modern counseling, let alone using it in therapy is relatively new!
![Page 32: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Counter-Transferenceand
Co-Dependency
What are some counter-transference feelings of co-dependency that may arise from therapy?
How can the co-dependency feelings toward the client be used to enhance therapy or hurt the therapy?
![Page 33: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why we choose the clients we choose?
What type of client are you most comfortable with and why?– Is it always training that makes us most
comfortable?– Does counter-transference play a part in this?– When is this preference unethical?
![Page 34: Ethics in Clinical Counseling Presented By: Art Romero, MA, LADAC, LPCC Patricia McKeen, MA, LPCC.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551437155503466d1a8b5312/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
