    • Significant milestones in counseling and psychotherapy include:
      • Tribal times: sharing experiences and dreams
      • 1885/6: Freud's private practice and development of psychoanalysis
      • 1942: Rogers' book "Counseling and Psychotherapy" introducing client-centered approach
      • 1951: Gestalt therapy outlined by Perls, Goodman, and Hefferline
      • 1954: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and humanistic psychology
      • 1955: REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) developed by Albert Ellis

    The Biomedical Perspective

    • Lobotomy: Early form of psychosurgery involving severing connections in the frontal lobe
    • Trephination: Ancient procedure involved drilling a hole in the skull
    • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): Procedure involving brief seizures to alter brain chemistry and improve symptoms of certain mental health conditions

    The Religious/Spiritual Perspective

    • Clergy, shamans, and other spiritual leaders have advice and healing roles in many cultures.
    • Native American cultures, and others, have strong spiritual elements in their healing traditions for much more than counseling.

    The Psychosocial Perspective

    • Human interactions and relationships impact thinking, mood, and behavior, significantly for healing and growth.
    • Ancient philosophies and healers, like Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), Epictetus and Avicenna, contributed to understanding and helping individuals. These approaches anticipated modern therapeutic principles.
    • Avicenna, who lived in the tenth and eleventh centuries, was an important figure in Islamic medicine and his ideas and clinical approaches for the healing of both body and mind contributed to current practice.

    Diathesis-Stress Model

    • Mental disorders are influenced by vulnerability and exposure to stressful events.
    • Diathesis refers to predisposition or susceptibility. Stress encompasses stressful life events.
    • The combined effect of diathesis on susceptibility and environmental stresses can cause a disorder.
