| Summary: | This tape focuses on counseling a court referred client who places little value on reflective thinking and who views counseling as a means of avoiding prison. The counselor, in this tape, uses traditional communications skills such as attending, questioning and paraphrasing to hear the clients point of view. However, in working with the antisocial personality, applying the most basic of communication skills is demanding as these clients are persistent in seeking to manipulate and to control the counseling session in a manner they see beneficial to themselves. The counselor adapts to the situation by providing consistent support but also challenging and confronting the client. This video is excellent for anyone working with difficult clients. Large number of running subtitles are included.
