The Unmotivated, Unhappy and Unemployed. A Developmental Approach to the Individual Adult

The Unmotivated, Unhappy and Unemployed. A Developmental Approach to the Individual Adult Adult clients who present with depression, lack of motivation and inability to work can challenge therapists' ability to be influential. Demands by the wider system can lead the worker, into behaving in ways that perpetuate, rather than interrupt, these patterns and push the client further into poverty and despair. An approach to dealing with such difficulties is described and various theoretical explanations offered to explain its success. A case study elaborates its application. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy Wiley

Abstract

Adult clients who present with depression, lack of motivation and inability to work can challenge therapists' ability to be influential. Demands by the wider system can lead the worker, into behaving in ways that perpetuate, rather than interrupt, these patterns and push the client further into poverty and despair. An approach to dealing with such difficulties is described and various theoretical explanations offered to explain its success. A case study elaborates its application.
