| Summary: |
An article pointing out the weaknesses that have been found in the short-term counseling, and giving nine recommendations to remedy these weaknesses. |
| Gems: |
Therapists tend not to pay attention to the important consequences overpowering their clients in their organizations. There are two sides to an issue, and people still have to work together.
Missionaries may think they're North American, but they may have adapted was of relating to each other that may be more in line with the national culture.
It is much better for a counselor to develop a longer term relationship with a mission board, and focus on a specific field, than to bounce around to many different fields. |
| Outline: |
Weaknesses
Recommendations
Sensitivity to missionaries' perceptions of the counselor's effectiveness
Preparation
Ombudsman vs. advocate
Solution-focused rather than problem-focused
focusing on brief diagnosis
Diagnosing

Be yourself: don't be a "professional." |
