- Summary:
- Barry A. Farber, PhD, facilitates a conversation with Jeffrey A. Hayes, PhD, about his work with an adult, Black, female client struggling with concerns regarding self-worth and guilt about caring for herself. In an opening interview, Dr. Barry A. Farber and Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes discuss the role of countertransference in psychotherapy. In the first and only session in this therapy demonstration, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes first gathers information about the client's presenting problem, which she initially characterizes as impulsive spending. In helping the client to set therapy goals and to develop insight about her concerns, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes helps the client formulate her goal of "getting to the root of the problem" by focusing on a lack of self-worth. Notably, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes broaches the topic of the client's racial identity as a Black woman in relation to her concerns. Next, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes helps the client explore how her religious identity has impacted her feelings about herself. Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes uses religious language to help the client connect to inherent self-worth. Finally, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes incorporates the client's religious practice by suggesting strategies of mindfulness and prayer in building self-compassion. In a discussion of clips from the session, Dr. Barry A. Farber and Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes discuss the presence of "cultural countertransference" in Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes's work with the client. Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes discusses possible impact of racial and religious differences on the therapeutic relationship and discusses the benefits of addressing cultural identity in the session. In addition, Dr. Jeffrey A. Hayes explores his own reactions to the client's cultural differences and his own tendency to "people please" and pull to "work harder than his clients"
