Study These Flashcards
A

Includes the following:
Observing the patients nonverbal behaviors
Listening and understanding
Listening for “false notes” (inconsistencies with what the pt says
Providing the patient with feedback

25
Clarifying techniques
Verifying the patients messages Ex: “I’m not quite sure what you were saying. Did you say you are not going to group tonight” Helps identify and correct misperceptions
26
Closed ended questions
Questions that have yes or no answer Example: “did you sleep well today?” Instead ask “How was ur sleep”
27
Giving advice
This method is nontherapeutic Ex: you should break up with your boyfriend Instead say: What are the pros and cons of your situation
28
False reassurance
Saying “everything will be alright” this can belittle the patients feelings and give false hope Instead say “What do you think could go wrong” this is clarifying why the patient feels the way they feel
29
Asking “Why?” Questions
“Why did you stop taking your medications” this statement implies blame and patient will feel defensive. Avoid “how” questions as well. Instead ask “tell me some of the reasons that led you to not taking your medication” this is an example of giving broad openings
30
Minimizing feelings
“I know what you mean” statements doesn’t allow the attention to focus on the patient Instead empathize with the patient “You must be feeling upset” In cases you can say “I went through something similar” but then always follow up saying “it must have been hard”
31
Making value judgements
“How come you are still smoking when your wife has lung cancer?” Instead make observations by saying “I see you are still smoking even though your wife has lung cancer”
32
Validating and exploring
If patient states “id like to die” Say “this sounds serious, have you thought about harming yourself” it is important to always address what the patient states.

Boundaries

40
Transference
A person unconsciously and inappropriately displaces patterns of behavior and emotional reactions toward another person Ex: patient states “you remind me of my mom”
