Congruence And Therapy: The Real Relationship Inventory (Rri), Jean F. Ndzana Nov 2019

Congruence And Therapy: The Real Relationship Inventory (Rri), Jean F. Ndzana

Showcase of Graduate Student Scholarship and Creative Activities

I am interested in looking at the process of psychotherapy, and how specific under-represented groups (that are already reluctant to entering therapy), experience this process and the genuineness of the therapist. I am interested in exploring concerns that are parallel to the initial concern that brought the person for counseling, and how such processes, if unexplored, that can damage therapeutic alliance, and result in poor therapy outcome. The ultimate goal is not to get people in therapy, but to deliver successful therapy.
