| dc.description.abstract | The exploration and treatment of traumatic experiences is rapidly expanding in the mental health field and as a whole, the topic has significantly increased in popularity over the past 40 years. Psychodynamic therapy (PDT) and narrative exposure therapy (NET) are used to conceptualize and treat client experiences of violence. Despite the widespread use of these frameworks, both are deeply problematic in their conceptualizations and interventions as their understandings are pathologizing. Response-based practice and the interactional and discursive view of violence and resistance underscore the inaccurate language of PDT and NET that leads to the pathology of clients. A case study analysis emphasizes the issues inherent within the exclusive use of PDT or NET to respond to client experiences of violence. The use of a broader set of therapeutic models can address the shortcomings of using one particular model, and therefore, an eclectic approach to counselling will better serve novice counsellors and their clients alike. | |
