Description
Summary:The tendency to change, towards a multifaceted identity, becomes an inherent quality of social work. Social work and assistance as an independent subject was formed at the intersection of several fields, including psychology, sociology, medicine, political science, etc. In this respect, we mention the multitude of roles that a practicing social worker fulfils, among which we mention the role of counselor. In general, social workers use a variety of counseling approaches to help individuals, families, and communities overcome their challenges and enhance their quality of life. Establishing the therapeutic relationship is an essential part of the counseling process, for a positive change in the client's life, which means gaining trust, feeling comfort and safety, inherent steps for sharing personal information with the counselor. The present exploratory study was carried out by applying qualitative methods: interview and focus group, to a sample of 10 specialists in psycho-social counseling, from Caraş-Severin county. The examples of good practices highlighted during the meetings served as support for concretizing the importance of building an effective therapeutic relationship.
