Il counselling eclettico-integrato: principi teorici e criteri operativi

Eclectic approach in counselling derives from necessity \u2013 arisen from our clinical experience in sanitary, scholastic and university context \u2013 to possess a flexible and dynamic tool suitable to the complexity of situations managed by health and mental-health operators. Integrative model is the pragmatic translation of eclectic approach in counselling. It integrates many different theoretical models so that it lives aside every specific operator\u2019s background. It considers person in a global way and emphasizes social context as resource. Present work defines fundamental principles, characteristics and aims of integrative counselling and explains operative strategies that lead counsellor\u2019s action. Counselling process is described as a flow chart useful to orient services organization. The structure of counselling intervention is articulated in three phases (initial, intermediate and final) that are described through three basic components (relationship, content and action). Regarding to evaluation of interventions efficacy some process and outcome indicators are proposed. In conclusion we underline that eclectic approach in counselling is very important because it can make easier communication and agreement between operators with different cultural background and different theoretical reference model

Obiettivi e metodi del Counselling: Principi Fondamentali

Since the early nineties we faced the need to clarify the objectives and methodology of counseling interventions applied to different areas of clinical practice. Although many questions remain unresolved and it is clear the importance of keeping alive the debate among professionals working in the field, some questions have found, in our system of personal and professional beliefs, a defined response. So we got to structure, over the years, a model of intervention increasingly clear and delineated, that showed on the field of clinical practice and training its efficacy and its good responsiveness to the needs of clients. This paper sets out the main objectives and principles of counseling applied in the university context. We underlined the need, in order to make effective and defined the intervention, to promote integration with other territorial services, outlining a network of facilities to refer the cases in which the analysis and redefinition of the problem have highlighted the need for psychotherapeutic intervention
