| Summary: | The view that the therapist adopts on the issue of what constitutes reality will affect the decisions he makes in the therapeutic situation. By contrasting the Materialistic-Naturalistic position (which sees material entities and their derivative forces constituting all that is) with the Christian-Supernaturalistic position (which sees self-existent nonmaterial forces as being part of what is) on this reality dimension, it follows that there are differences in the resulting conceptions of health and, consequently, what is advised to attain it. The matching of counselor and client reality perspectives may be found to be a helpful criterion for enhancing therapeutic success. |
