PSYC2320 Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy

Week 2 Discussion

The Therapeutic Relationship

The therapeutic relationship is an alliance between the counselor and the client that is part of all counseling professions. It is the foundation for the work that will take place between them.

With that in mind, begin a conversation where you perform the below tasks:

Explain what makes the therapeutic relationship unique compared to other relationships.

Describe some strategies and skills that counselors use to form a therapeutic relationship.

Use professional sources to guide your explanations of the relationships and strategies. As always, if you are relying on someone else’s ideas when presenting yours, you should reference their paper, article, or other related work. This includes sharing references to your fellow students’ ideas!
