Lesson 4: The Clientele and Audiences of Counseling

This document discusses the different clients of counseling, including individuals, groups, and communities. Individual counseling helps people manage difficult life situations like job loss, divorce, or rehabilitation. Group counseling can help organizations and communities address issues like conflict reduction and improving productivity. Community counseling may be needed after traumatic collective experiences, like in post-genocide Rwanda, to help restore trust and confidence.

LESSON 4

THE CLIENTELE AND AUDIENCES OF


COUNSELING
ENERGIZER
4.3 THE INDIVIDUAL AS CLIENT OF COUNSELING
 THE INDIVIDUAL WHO NEED TO BE HELPED TO MANAGE WELL
A LIFE-CHANGING SITUATION OR PERSONAL PROBLEM OR
CRISIS AND OTHER SUPPORT NEEDS MAY UNDERGO
COUNSELING AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
 THIS IS THE COMMON TYPE OF COUNSELING: THE
INDIVIDUALIZED TYPE.
 THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS CAPACITATION TO BE ABLE TO
MANAGE WELL THEIR UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES,WHICH MAY
BE VERY DIFFICULT TO ENDURE ALONE.
 PROBLEMS LIKE ALCOHOLISM, LOSS OF
JOB,DIVORCE,IMPRISONMENT, AND REHABILITATION CAN BE A
CAUSE OF SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENT.
 WITHOUT ACQUIRING ENOUGH STRENGTH AND ABILITY TO GO
THROUGH SUCH LIFE EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE ARE VULNERABLE
AND MAY COME OUT WORSE; EVEN WHILE SIMPLY GOING
THROUGH NATURAL LIFE TRANSITIONS LIKE RETIREMENT AND
GROWING OLD.
4.4 THE GROUP AND ORGANIZATION AS CLIENT OF
COUNSELING
 GROUPS EXIST IN COMMUNITIES,ORGANIZATIONS,STUDENTS
IIN SCHOOLS,TEACHERS IN SCHOOL,AND DEPARTMENTS IN
WORKPLACES,AND SUCH ENTITY CAN UNDERGO GROUP
COUNSELING TO MEET COUNSELING NEEDS ON THAT LEVEL.
 THE NEEDS CAN RANGE FROM DESIRE TO REDUCE CONFLICT
OR MANAGE IT, BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE AS A TEAM OR
WORK BETTER TOGETHER.
 SOME OF THE GROUP PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES RESEMBLE
THOSE THAT ARE APPLIED TO INDIVIDUAL.
 HOWEVER, SOME ARE VERY UNIQUE TO GROUP AND
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT.
4.5 THE COMMUNITY AS CLIENT OF COUNSELING
 WHEN PEOPLE EXPERIENCE SOMETHING COLLECTIVELY, WHICH
MAY BE SOCIALLY TROUBLING AND CONSTITUTE THE DANGER OF
BLOCKING THEIR COLLECTIVE CAPACITY TO MOVEON, COUNSELING
IS NECESSAY TO BE UNDERTAKEN ON A COMMUNITY LEVEL.
 IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA, A TRUTH AND
RECONCILIATION COMISSION WAS SOUGHT TO HELP RESTORATION
OF THE SOUTH AFRICA COMMUNITIES.
 LIKEWISE, IN THE POST-GENOCIDE RUANDA,A SIMILAR APPROACH
WAS DONE TO HELP RESTORE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN
COMMUNITIES THAT WERE BRUTALLY DISRUPTED BY CIVIL WAR
AND MASS KILLING.
