,2 PYC3705 Transformative Counselling Encounters – Multiple Choice Assignment Q & A
Assignment 2 – Semester 1 – 2017
QUESTION 1
The concept of reflexivity 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.
The correct answer is:
1) (b) & (d)
2) (a), (b) & (c)
3) (b), (c) & (d)
4) (a) & (c)
Answer: The correct answer is 4
Refer: Tutorial Letter 202/1/2017
Reasoning:
• 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

4) existential concerns
Answer: The correct answer is 4
Refer: Tutorial Letter 202/1/2017
Reasoning: 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
Answer: The correct answer is 3
Refer: Tutorial Letter 202/1/2017
Reasoning: 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.
d) enables counsellors to become aware of biases and stereotypes and to question the
limitations of their profession.
The correct answer is:
1) (a) & (d)
2) (b) & (c)
3) (a), (b), (c) & (d)
4) (a), (b) & (d)
