5182 Katella Ave ste 202, Los Alamitos, CAMore times than not, clients appear in therapy when they feel at their worst and unfortunately feel a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. They present with problems which they think are bigger than them or with issues that take over their well being. It is true that each individual has a rich history and the outcomes may be very difficult for many. In spite of that, I find myself seeing a different viewpoint. It is one that points to a positive outcome of the therapeutic process. The process of therapy and the outcome of therapy should not be considered two separate things. Early research supports that the process or what goes on between, and within, the client and the therapist during the course of their interaction is very significant (Orlinksy and Howard, 1986). It is from this interpersonal perspective that I operate in helping my clients.
