Table 2-3Common Defenses

• Denial. The source of distress is not
  acknowledged or perceived because it is too
  threatening. The person refuses to admit being
  frightened by an event or action of another
  individual.
• Repression. Unacceptable or anxiety-provoking
  thoughts or feelings are blotted out of
  consciousness. People forget threatening
  occurrences.
• Displacement. Emotions are transferred from the
  original person or object to a less formidable
  or safer target. It is the kick the cat
  defense.

9
Table 2-3Common Defenses (Cont.)

• Projection. Rejecting an unacceptable thought or
  feeling by blaming it on another person. By
  attributing it to someone else the unacceptable
  thought or feeling is removed from the person.
• Sublimation. Directing a socially unacceptable
  desire or activity into a socially acceptable
  one. For example releasing sexual urges though
  dance.
• Rationalization. A socially acceptable reason is
  given to avoid having to face a nonacceptable
  belief about oneself.
• Intellectualization. Painful emotions or feelings
  associated with an event are explained away by
  the use of a rational explanation.

10
Table 2-4Six Conditions for Change

• The client and helper must be in psychological
  contact. A therapeutic relationship or emotional
  connection between the helper and client is
  essential.
• The client must be in a state of incongruenceIf
  a client feels no anxiety she or he is unlikely
  to be motivated enough to engage in the helping
  process.
• The helper must be congruent (genuine) or
  integrated in the relationshipThe helper cannot
  be phony in the helping relationship.

Table 2-4Six Conditions for Change (Cont.)

• The helper must feel unconditional positive
  regard for the clientEssentially a helper is
  trying to understand a clients feelings and
  experience but is not trying to judge whether the
  person should or should not have the feelings
  or whether the feelings are right or wrong.
• The helper must experience empathy for the
  clientWe can distinguish empathy from sympathy
  in which the helper feels pity for the client and
  often acts from a one-up power position rather
  than as an equal.
• The client must experience the helpers
  congruence unconditional positive regard and
  empathy. If the client does not experience the
  facilitative conditions for all practical
  purposes they do not exist for the client and the
  sessions are not likely to be helpful.

Table 3-1McDowells Levels of Counseling (Cont.)

• Leisure-Related Behavioral Problems Orientation.
  To help clients resolve behavioral concerns.
  Clients develop effective coping skills and
  problem-solving abilities to deal with chronic or
  excessively expressed leisure-related behavioral
  concerns (e.g. boredom TR watching etc.).
• Leisure Lifestyle Awareness Orientation. To help
  clients improve self-knowledge and understanding
  pertaining to leisure values beliefs and
  attitudes. Clients develop understanding
  regarding leisure and issues such as personal
  lifestyle family relations and transitions
  (e.g. aging retirement relocation divorce).

14
Table 3-1McDowells Levels of Counseling (Cont.)

• Leisure Resource Guidance Orientation. To help
  clients match leisure interests with community
  resources. Clients need to identify leisure
  interests or what to do in their free time and
  information regarding opportunities needs to be
  provided to them.
• Leisure-Related Skills-Development Orientation.
  To help clients develop the leisure-related
  skills and abilities that they lack. Clients
  develop skills in areas such as assertiveness
  social skills grooming motor abilities
  effective use of transportation and recreation
  activities.

Table 4-2Characteristics of the TR Process

• It is client centered to meet the unique needs of
  the client.
• It is cyclical. All phases interrelate.
• It is goal directed.
• It is collaborative in that it requires the
  therapist to communicate with the client to meet
  his or her needs.
• It emphasizes feedback to reassess the problem or
  revise the intervention plan.
• It is applicable as a framework in all TR
  settings.

• The assessment should be valid for its intended
  use.
• There should be evidence of the relationship of
  subscores to total scores of those measure which
  produce subscores.

  qualified individuals.
• The assessment should be used in the intended
  way.
• Published assessments should be used in
  combination w/other methods.

  population in your situation (e.g. It is not too
  difficult for your clients. It may be completed
  in the time available).

Figure 5-1Examples of the Professional Values of
Recreational Therapists

• Health and Well-Being. Recreational therapists
  value assisting persons to achieve their optimal
  levels of health whether these persons are in
  normal health or having an illness disorder or
  disability. All possess the potential for change.
• Control and Choice. Recreational therapists
  respect and promote the autonomy of clients so
  they may maintain control over their lives to the
  greatest degree possible and make informed
  choices.
• Client-Therapist Relationship. The
  client-therapist relationship is valued as a
  critical element in therapeutic recreation. The
  essential role of the recreational therapist is
  that of a catalyst who works in partnership with
  clients in order to help them be as self-directed
  as possible.

32
Figure 5-1Examples of the Professional Values of
Recreational Therapists (Cont.)

• Client Abilities and Strengths. Each client is
  seen as possessing abilities and intact strengths
  that may be used to meet client challenges.
  Clients can build strengths and abilities through
  participation in therapeutic recreation.
• Fun and Enjoyment. Fun and enjoyment are valued
  as motivators for client participation. People
  are motivated to take part in activities that are
  fun or enjoyable. Fun and enjoyment are positive
  emotions that open clients up to try new
  behaviors.
• Emphasis on Client. Therapeutic recreation is
  action oriented but the emphasis is always on the
  client as a person and not on the activity.

33
Figure 5-1Examples of the Professional Values of
Recreational Therapists (Cont.)

• Goal-Directed. Therapeutic recreation is valued
  for being purposeful and goal-directed. Being
  purposeful means having a plan which implies
  choice making on the part of clients.
• Intrinsic Worth. Every client is valued as an
  individual possessing intrinsic worth who should
  be treated with dignity.
• Competent and Ethical Care. Recreational
  therapists value the ability to offer competent
  and ethical care and therefore meet their
  professional obligations to clients.

34
Table 5-1Ethical Principles

• Autonomy- Self-governing
• Confidentiality- Right to control access to
  information
• Social-sexual Relations- Need to avoid
  social/sexual involvements with clients
• Professional Competence- Do not exceed levels of
  competence
• Nonmaleficence- Obligations not to harm others
• Beneficence- Promote well-being
• Veracity-Telling the truth
• Fidelity- Faithfulness keeping promises
• Justice- Fairness in distributing services

Table 9-1Characteristics of Clinical Supervision

• supportive
• safe because of clear negotiated agreements by
  all parties with regard to the extent of limits
  of confidentiality
• brave because practitioners are encouraged to
  talk about the realities of their practice
• a chance to talk about difficult areas of work in
  an environment where the person attempts to
  understand
• an opportunity to ventilate emotion without
  comeback
• the opportunity to deal with material and issues
  that practitioners may have been carrying for
  many years (the chance to talk about issues which
  cannot easily be talked about elsewhere and that
  may have been previously unexplored)

Table 9-3Clinical Supervision is NOT

• A management activity allowing for the overseeing
  of subordinates
• Linked to the disciplinary process
• Exclusively concerned with time-keeping ranges
  of pay and hours of duty
• About having the supervisees work controlled
  directed or managerially evaluated
• A punitive or gratuitously negative experience
  for the supervisor
• A continuous discussion of mistakes falling or
  errors on the part of supervisee without being
  balanced by a discussion or the supervisees
  professional strengths and the positive aspects
  of his (or her) work.
