Managing manipulative behavior in the helping relationship. [This journal article] defines and discusses manipulative behavior so that social workers can discern such tactics and manage them skillfully. Manipulative behavior's potentially detrimental impact on helping relationships is discussed within the context of communication-interaction theory. Types of manipulative behavior discussed and illustrated include attempting to control conditions of treatment, avoiding engaging in the helping process, attempting to gratify needs in the helping relationship that are ordinarily gratified from other sources, seeking to avoid aversive consequences of infractions, and seeking to gain unearned benefits and favors [Source : PASCAL database]. 1, record 6, English, - manipulative%20behavior

A treatment technique in which the psychotherapist focuses the patient's attention on his conscious behavior, helping him to assume greater responsibility for his own actions and to find better ways of handling the situations of life. Reality therapy was developed by William Glasser(1965) as an alternative to the psychoanalytic approach, which, he holds, tends to weaken the patient's responsibility for himself. 1, record 7, English, - reality%20therapy

"La thérapie de la réalité" consiste à amener le sujet émotivement perturbé, quel que soit son âge, à ne pas nier le monde et à lui faire admettre que la réalité existe et que c'est dans son cadre qu'il lui incombe de satisfaire ses besoins (Glasser, 1971). Elle part de la conviction que c'est encore à travers son commerce avec les autres que l'être humain satisfait le mieux ses besoins fondamentaux dont ceux d'aimer et d'être aimé, d'être utile à soi et aux autres. La thérapie de la réalité donne de bons résultats chez les personnes hébergées âgées, se sentant inutiles et rejetées. 1, record 7, French, - th%C3%A9rapie%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9alit%C3%A9
