Study Notes

Personal Helping vs Professional Helping

Advice is given by authority figures (e.g., parent to child) and often involves consequences for non-compliance. It is highly subjective and opinionated, and no training is required.
Suggestions are given without authority, and there are no consequences for non-compliance. It is primarily subjective and requires no professional training.
Both advice and suggestions rely on personal experience and popular psychology, often lacking scientific basis.
Professional psychology utilizes concepts taught in universities and colleges, supported by multiple academic textbooks and researched through meta-analysis.
Pop psychology is often oversimplified, outdated, or unproven, and promises quick fixes with less time involvement, often misleading the public.

Pop-Psychology and Professional Psychology

Pop psychology is gained from sources such as books, TV shows, and blogs, and typically has minimal supporting sources.
Professional psychology is supported by academic textbooks and multiple sources, including meta-analysis, and is constantly reviewed and updated.

Guidance/Psycho-education/ Life Coaching/ Consultation

Guidance/Psycho-education/Life Coaching/Consultation involves providing advice/information objectively with scientific backing, rather than personal experiences, and is appropriate after ensuring the client's mental health has improved.

Drama Triangle (Karpman)

A Rescuer is someone who rescues others without being asked, often taking responsibility for their perceived victim.
A Victim is someone who feels inadequate, powerless, and looks to a rescuer to solve their problems instead of taking responsibility.
A Persecutor isn't aware of their power to empower others, intending to hurt others, often unknowingly acting as a victim themselves.
