How to make a personal model of helping for human services.
Krista’s Personal Model of Helping

Models of Effective Helping

Every individual has his or her own set of issues that they need to deal with such as
relationship difficulties, family problems, individual personal struggles, addiction, disability
troubles, and much more. Thankfully, theorists have created different theories to go about the
different situations that have helped me form my own viewpoint from many of the techniques
and methods discussed in this course.
Starting off my personal model of helping is the Adlerian theory. Learning about this
theory I have come to learn being able to have a sense of others outside of oneself, is an
important part of development in an environment. Learning about birth orders and the roles that
are typically assigned to them needs to be considered as these roles are reinforced by social
norms (Cicirelli, 1994). Knowing that conditions within a family can affect behavior and
personality development, the need to consider family constellation will take part of my model of
helping. My role of as a helper would be to establish a strong rapport with the client, evaluate the
client's concerns, and use modeling to help the client change his or her behaviors or achieve
goals. Face-to-face interviews are important in the partnership between client and helper (Parrott,
2003), and will be used. By conducting face to face interviews, I can show the client more facial
emotions and develop a stronger rapport that I believe is very important at the beginning and
with new clients.
In my personal model of helping, I also will include ideas from behaviorism. I feel that if
a client is making an excuse on a behavior because he or she is too old and it cannot be broken is
not an excuse....
