We can work on Personal & Professional Qualities of a Mental Health Therapist Discussion – Assignment Help

I’m studying and need help with a Psychology question to help me learn.

Week 1 Topic:

“ATTRIBUTES OF A COUNSELOR”

In chapter 1 Kottler & Shephard (2015) present a compiled list of personality characteristics.Self-confidence, high energy level, sense of humor, neutrality, flexibility, emotional stability, experience in risk taking, analytic thinking, creativity, enthusiasm, honesty, and compassion all make the list.

These traits are said to be necessary in order for a counselor to work at his or her optimum performance and with a “healthy self” (pp. 22). Carefully review this list.

  • What attributes of the self do you think are most important to success in the counseling relationship?
  • What do you consider to be your own strong suits and personal qualities that equip you to counsel effectively?
  • What do you consider to be your weaknesses and what could you do to strengthen those? Remember to include a reference to an article that supports your response or adds to the discussion.

2. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting. There will be a deduction of 20 points for failure to cite a source within your initial post and to provide a reference at the end of your initial post.

3. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words
