Abstract

The need for effective counselling for abused women is a major concern for social workers and other professionals who have been responding to the plight of the mentioned individuals. There is a need to provide effective supportive counselling for victimized women who desire to be empowered in changing their situations by taking charge of their lives. In my approach to these women's needs, I found the most helpful clinical therapeutic counselling methods to be those that have a strength-based approach such as the following: Murray Bowen's System Theory, and Berg and de Shazer's Solution-Focused Therapy. In this report, I outline how I used the various methods of counselling and will conclude by explaining what I found to be the strengths and weaknesses of each method. --P. ii.
