In this week’s textbook readings, the chapter emphasizes the importance of using universal fundamentals that have been found to be effective in treating particular disorders and the importance of tailoring psychotherapy to the individuality of the patient in his or her context. For this week’s discussion, after viewing the Watch: Relational Cognitive Therapy From a Christian Perspective (Client 1), discuss how providing therapy from a Christian perspective may be an important part of tailoring psychotherapy to the individuality of Christian patients that value their organizing beliefs. Further, give examples of the universal core principles of psychotherapy that Dr. Mark McMinn exhibits as he works with this patient from a Christian perspective.
