ALREADY GRADED A+
Setting the Frame: - ANSWERS-This is a term from the Object Relations model.
Setting the frame sets the tone of the therapy,offering the promise to a client that
the therapy will be conducted in a secure and consistent environment inwhich
highly sensitive private feelings and fantasies can be expressed and explored
without threat of actualizing the feared consequences. This could further be
understood as reaching a level of engagement that allows the client to trust the
therapist at a high level.
Cross-Sectional Studies: - ANSWERS-A research design which examines subjects at
a single point in time (see Longitudinal Studies).
Avoider: - ANSWERS-From Satir's Experiential Family Therapy model, one of five
communication styles. The avoider tends to distract others from potential conflict
by acting helpless, weak, and lacking an understanding.
, Computer: - ANSWERS-From Satir's experiential family therapy, one of the five
communication styles. The computer is rational, but often attempts to sway
others by referring to outside "authorities."
Complainant: - ANSWERS-From solution-focused therapy, one of three ways to
characterize the level of participation and commitment to change. This client
brings a specific problem, but is currently unwilling to focus on a solution (see
Visitor and Customer).
Sibling Position: - ANSWERS-Bowen theory incorporates the research of
psychologist Walter Toman as a foundation for its concept of sibling position.
Bowen observed the impact of sibling position on development and behavior in
his family research. However, he found Toman's work so thorough and consistent
with his ideas that he incorporated it into his theory. The basic idea is that people
who grow up in the same sibling position predictably have important common
characteristics. For example, oldest children tend to gravitate to leadership
positions and youngest children often prefer to be followers. The characteristics
of one position are not "better" than those of another position, but are
complementary. For example, a boss who is an oldest child may work unusually
well with a first assistant who is a youngest child. Youngest children may like to be
in charge, but their leadership style typically differs from an oldest's style. (From
the Bowen Center website)
Cognitive Behavior Family Therapy (CBT): - ANSWERS-Therapies based on both
behavioral techniques, which grew out of scientific, laboratory experiments, and
on the cognitive therapy models. People learn to modify behaviors both by
altering the reinforcement contingencies and/or changing the cognitions that
influence their behaviors and interactions.
