Given the ability to transcend over the needs of patients, counselors also need to consider the value of utilizing client resistance as it relates to the condition of fostering better avenues for facilitating change. Applying this with the summary of a recent case, it explores the condition of denial and apprehension of what people would argue. These directions in turn facilitated the creation of hindrances in furthering appropriate conditions necessary for treatment and psychiatric care (Deshazer, 1984).

Arguing on this principle, it can be seen that client resistance stems from different conditions and factors that disengages patients to available means of facilitation and care. It corresponds to the functions of (1) social stigma, (2) treatment fears, (3) fear of emotion, (4) anticipated utility and risks, and (5) self disclosure (Vogel, Wester, and Larson, 2007, p. 410). With different features, all these correspond to the mindset of a patient as it relates to fostering care and admission that a specific problem is apparent.

Relating this to the summary of a case related to resistance, it can be seen that the mother exhibited paranoia and limited capacity to seek further psychological treatment. The main reason influencing this remains on both emotional and personal insecurities. Such dynamics were motivated by her inability to accept her predicament and that she needed further care. With all these hesitations and apprehension, the patient finally realized she needed further medication when all her reasons were not supplemented accordingly with changes.

Given these realities, counselors then need to consider extending further and opening up avenues for patients to respond and realize their weaknesses. In here, careful creation of relationships and communication must be established accordingly. This process can then emphasize on what areas need to be considered and what areas can facilitate better means to justify methods and mechanics influential towards change (Murphy and Dillon, 2006). These actions in turn create better means in justifying patterns of further responsibility and accountability on both counselors and patients.

In the end, client resistance remains to be an apparent factors shaping psychological care. Under this principle, counselors need to take note of these conditions and respond in a more collaborative and open manner. By applying these principles, it can help solidify the grasp towards harnessing the needed experience, skills, and transcendence towards care and development (Murphy and Dillon, 2006). Such avenues then become crucial to outline essential means to expand psychological care and recognition of new opportunities related to counseling.
