ABSTRACT

If this has been exposed to the client-centered philosophy, he is of course usually convinced that he should be nonjudgmental regarding the client's attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavior. Most other approaches to counseling agree upon this. However, this is not sufficient preparation for actually dealing with values in the therapeutic process. There has been some concern with the place of values in psychotherapy, with psychoanalysts particularly giving this topic considerable attention. The generally accepted point of view has been that the therapist's values should be kept out of the therapeutic relationship. Wilder, commenting upon a paper by Ginsburg puts it as follows: "It has been taken for granted that the analyst must not try to impose his value systems on the patient," and he adds: "and I still think this to be true". In line with this "hands off' approach, therapists have been exhorted to become aware of their value systems, for the purpose of keeping their own values out of the therapy and to avoid deliberate or unintentional indoctrination of the client. Perhaps few therapists feel that values should not be dealt with in psychotherapy. As Green has pointed out, therapists must deal with values, since they are part of the personality of the client, and the source of many of his problems. That some therapists still are uncomfortable in doing so seems to be indicated by Zilboorg's defense of subjectivity, and his statement that while "the psychiatrist is not concerned primarily with moral problems, he does not reject them.
