Mei Lin Case Summary

1114 Words5 Pages

Free Association
The therapist would begin by engaging Mei Lin in free association, a basic tool in PP, to start exploring Mei Lin’s unconscious processes. With this technique, therapist would be able to encourage Mei Lin to share any thoughts and feelings freely without being constrained, regardless how painful, silly, illogical or irrelevant it may sounds. Moreover, the free association gives the client space and opportunity to unfolding unconscious motivations, desires, fantasies, fears and hidden feelings that may have been blocked and are related to the issue (Corey, 2013). Mei Lin would have a chance to share what comes to her mind and allowed to talk about her past painful experiences, therefore giving the opportunity for transference …show more content…

It may not be able to address Mei Lin’s marital issues to a certain extent. Mei Lin came to the therapy presented with an issue regarding her relationship with her husband. Although Mei Lin has difficulties of her own, however, the issue of her marriage that she was presented with, may also be directly related to her husband. If this is the case, an approach that able to works on couple relationship may be of benefit.

When functioning best, the therapist is so much inside the private world of the other that he or she can clarify not only the meanings of which the client is aware but even those just below the level of awareness. Listening, of this very special, active kind, is one of the most potent forces of change that I know (Rogers, 1989).
