How does terminology influence the effectiveness of counseling?
a. Terminology is a part of what counselors need to learn in order to communicate with each other.
b. As long as counselors use the terminology generally accepted by other practitioners, the counselors are meeting their ethical obligations to the clients and to the field of counseling.
c. Labels and diagnoses affect how counselors treat clients and how clients behave in counseling. However, counselors have little control over those labels. Procedures for diagnoses and note taking are standardized in the DSM IV and at each facility where counselors work.
d. The benefit of scientific terminology is that it doesn’t change over time so observations that use accepted terminology (such as DSM diagnoses) can be depended upon years after a counselor stops seeing a client.
e. Labels and diagnoses affect how counselors treat clients and how clients behave in counseling and in their lives. As a result, it is important for counselors to consider the consequences when labeling their clients.
