PARADIGM OF A
COUNSELOR’S ROLE

Reporter: Ella Maria G. de Asis

• Sigmund Freud’s associate, Josef Breuer, invented the “talking cure” and first
made use of the technique with the founding patient of psychoanalysis, Anna O.,
a woman suffering from hysteria. It was actually Anna O. who identified the
techniques as the “talking cure.”

• Freud, in his 1909 lectures (First Lecture), stated:

It soon emerged, as though by chance, that this process of sweeping the mind
clean could accomplish more than the merely temporary relief of her ever-recurring
mental confusion. It was actually possible to bring about the disappearance of the
painful symptoms of her illness. (Freud, 1909/undated, p. 13).

• Freud later called the process “catharsis.”

• Today, the idea that mental problems, or mental disorders, can be
solved or cured by a conversation between a client and a therapist is
well understood. It is called psychotherapy.

• Most people acknowledge the healing that occurs when they are
helped by conversation with caring individuals.

• Psychotherapy stands apart from general or even empathic

conversation because it typically addresses serious and unresolved
problems using specially designed techniques.
• Professional counseling or psychotherapy is not just friendly accepting
conversation. It is supposed to be qualitatively different.

• Counseling or psychotheraphy is a process whereby a trained professional uses

his or her knowledge of biology, psychology, personality, relationships, and
social systems to change behaviors and to solve client problems.

• A trained professional uses his or her knowledge of biology, psychology,

personality, relationships, and social systems to change behaviors and to
solve client problems.

• Professionals are paid a fee or salary to change the behavior of clients.

Counseling theory an intellectual model that supports
certain ideas about underlying factors that affect the ff:
 behavior
 thoughts,
 emotions
 interpersonal interactions
 interpersonal interpretations.
Therefore, a counseling theory is a model of understanding and intervention; it
provides the clinician with ways to view and to change a client’s behaviors,
feelings, thoughts, or interactions.
Over the history of mental health treatment, wide variations in the models of
treatment have evolved.
 Paradigm of Counseling and Psychotherapy
(Counseling Paradigm)

- are models that, to a large degree, are mutually exclusive and based on different professional,
political, and philosophical positions related to the nature of the psychotherapeutic enterprise.
Because paradigms in the mental health services account for professional and political issues, as
well as practical-theoretical issues.

coordinates to prepare activity for the development of the sessions.

2. Counselor as an Agent of Change:

A specific causative factor or element or an entire process that results in change,

particularly in the sense of improvement. In psychotherapy research, a change
agent may be a component or process in therapy that results in improvement in the
behavior or psychological adaptation of a patient or client.

Assisting an individual to see things better to make him/her understand

himself/herself and even the situation he/she is in, leads to a change in his behavior
or in his direction in life.
3. Counselor as Career / Vocational Specialist:

Guidance counselors are certified professionals employed by schools or academic

institutions to assist and advise students about academic and personal decisions. They
provide private counseling to students, assess the ability and potential in students, and
coordinate with fellow professionals on student matters.

In his desire to assist clients in developing awareness and appreciation to different career
opportunities and vocation inclination, he conducts tests and interprets results. Through
this, students and parents see in him a counselor who can explain children’s inclination
and interest. They eventually come to him for information.
4. Counselor as Community Service Liaison:

Guidance or school counselors assist students with their educational, career, and
social needs often developing a thorough understanding of an individual through
interviews and aptitude assessments. They typically work in collaboration with parents,
teachers, and administrators to ensure a student's academic success.

The role of the counselor is to guide, advise, recommend, consult, and assist with the
nearly limitless variety of concerns that students, parents, teachers, administrators, and
the school community may have. Students will make decisions, set goals, and take
necessary action to achieve goals.
5. Counselor as Consultant:

In a consulting role, school counselors can utilize RE-SBC to enhance the

services teachers provide by analyzing classroom situations and collaboratively
seeking alternative solutions. School counselors can apply consultation to promote
academic, social-emotional, and career development (ASCA, 2012).

Through to be one trained in consultant services, a counselor is considered a

consultant in school, in the community, and in the workplace where guidance
services are needed.
