the eclectic therapy

Eclectic counseling is a multifaceted and adaptable technique that allows therapists to use the most appropriate approaches for meeting the needs of their clients (Campbell, 2003). In the case of the couple in question, the eclectic solution processes mentioned below would be useful in resolving their issues. The first step would be to identify the source of their differences, thoroughly examine the problem, and devise a workable solution for modifying the variables that caused the differences. setting effective counseling situations, interview and simulate the clients to come up with own resources and view the differences as their responsibility and try new ways of life as a way of adjusting and finally put in place mechanism to handle problems that may arise during the adjustment process.
Because of the deep underlying psychological problems, the couple will need psychotherapy. Though the first session will be focused on creating trust between the couple, it will also aim at establishing the causal factors of the problem. The session will entail person-centered approaches that will create a therapeutic alliance that fosters open and frank exchange of information between the couple. Intensive face-to-face psychotherapy sessions will be held about two times every week that will help expose their experiences before the differences started but the main focus will be on the causes of the current problems. Though they might want to resist the therapy process, it will be my role to make them understand the importance of the process and the dangers of the current situation.
Cognitive therapy in the second session will help the couple understand that they are the main reason behind their problems and the solution lies in their hands. By understanding the meaning of the reactions of each other, they may get better ways of handling emanating issues. Behavior therapy will also be used where the couple will be rewarded if they successfully meet their important goals (Lundahl & Hull, 2014). As the eclectic therapy continues, the behavior of the couple will be continuously monitored and the most beneficial therapeutic tools brought into play when there is a need. Both individual and group therapy will be used which will help the couple work toward their interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance skills and regulation of emotions.
To avoid conflicts and increase harmony, the couple will be advised to enhance their communication skills (Fowers & Blaine, 2001). The couple will be urged to avoid acting in an egocentric manner because it is disliked by partners. The couple will be made to understand that effective communication program will lead to improved cooperation and feeling of harmony thereby doing away with the differences between them, hence no need for divorce.
