The Importance Of Wellness And Prevention

Wellness and Prevention

Following the Adlerian view, I will discuss how people will maintain wellness by including the core construct. Wellness is how a person takes care of himself or herself mentally, physically, and holistically. We should look at each other from a holistic perspective. To understand a person more fully, it is necessary to perceive the self through the lens of interconnected patterns of Self-Efficacy and functioning (Pomery & Clarke, 2015). I feel every part of humans is interconnected into one. I say this because when our not mentally well, it can affect other areas of the person. For example, stress may eventually cause hypertension, continuous use of alcohol or drugs may cause physical health problems. The core construct

No one part outweighs the other. If an individual attains fulfillment only in the area of work, then other capacities that constitute the wheel, such as love or friendship, will be lacking. (Pomery & Clarke, 2015). That is congruent with Adler’s view on how humans are holistic beings. Focusing on one part and not looking at things as a whole make things unbalanced. Some problems develop when people neglect to take care of themselves. Adler taught that we must successfully master three universal life tasks: social task, love-marriage task, and occupational task (Corey, 2015). He did not put one over the other. He felt all three are needs are important in order to become successful.

In addition, I will be describing counseling strategies to prevent mental illness. The person as a whole facilitate self-care by eliminating stress, unhealthy habits, and following day to day regimens to promote wellness. The aim is to build a rapport and assess the client. Help the client find insight on the situation. Finding an end goal or plan to the problem, in order to make new choices. Helping the client not to focus on the past, but how they can create a new beginning or

Adler has several techniques such as advice, humor, silence, confrontation, and early recollection analysis (Corey, 2015, p 116). The three life tasks are powerful strategies Adler used to better people holistically. In addition, the four phases of therapy helps clients reach their end goal in counseling. They are engagement, assessments, insight, and reorientation (Corey, 2015, p.108). According to Adler, change can only established when encouragement is involved.

Adler tools are the different types of therapy he provides. Adler has several types of therapy like individual, group, couples, and family. The tools were also what he use to facilitate change is his belief in people, that the client can be who they want to be, giving the client hope of an end goal, offering new possibilities, and encouragement. He felt the need to reshape individuals and that everyone had a life goal. He was famous for the creative-self, which is the heart of Adlerian theory. After doing much research on Adler’s theory, I found this view to be most consistent with my
