Attributes of Clientele and Audiences of Counseling

 Neurotic - is a long-term tendency to be in a negative emotional state. Individuals with

neuroticism tend to have more depressed moods- they experience the ill effects of
sentiments of blame, jealousy, outrage and uneasiness more much of the time and more
seriously than others. Neuroticism is the state of being neurotic.

 Psychotic-Psychotic Disorders are serious mental issue that cause abnormal thinking
and perceptions. Individuals with psychoses puts some distance between the real world.
Two of the fundamental manifestations are delusions and hallucinations.

 Personality Disorder- it includes long haul examples of considerations and practices that
are unhealthy and inflexible. The practices cause significant issues with connections and
work. Individuals with character issue have trouble managing with everyday stress.

The clientele and audiences of the counseling profession come from different settings.
Counselors deal with a mixture of people with different concerns and issues.

- People who abuse drugs – drug abuse is not just harmful to our physical health but to
our mental health as well. It cannot be denied that the drug addiction creates more social
problems and contribute to social disintegration. Consequently, more youth victims cry
for help and seek for counselors’ attention.
- People who use Tobacco – slowly our population recognizes the bad effects of tobacco
to our health. However, many people still use and continue use tobacco even if it is
deadly. Users find it difficult to stop smoking. Hence, smokers who desire to quit tobacco
were added to the list of the counselor’s audiences.
- People who abuse alcohol – alcoholism is seen as a disease alcoholic find it difficult to
stop drinking on their own. This requires help from a professional as it requires
appropriate treatment. However, an equally important paradigm is to look at alcoholism
as a weakness of self – control and self –discipline. therefore, this requires intervention
other than treatment.
- Women – most men still have less participation in household responsibilities and
childcare. In this case, women’s advancement is constrained. What complicates this
situation is the women’s perception about themselves and the society’s expectations.
Counselors are responsible in helping women appreciate their own values, abilities,
aptitudes, and interests and to utilize these to develop their full potential. (Gibson and
Mitchel ,2003)
- Older Adults – a transition from a busy life to retirement stage must be instituted. This is
a challenge to the counseling profession. other issues that require attention of
counseling include loss of a partner, decline of mental capacity and mobility, increased
loneliness, decline in financial security etc.
- People with AIDS –acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been labeled as
the most feared disease due to its incurability. Victims of this disease are seeking help to
 improve their quality of life and to handle their emotional stress and low self-esteem.
Counseling’s approach requires sensitivity and appreciation of the intricacies of the
disease. Counselors may also help in assisting and educating the victims’ support
system.
- Victims of Abuse – this population represents victims of domestic violence
characterized by spouse and child abuses. Spouse abuse is often associated with
poverty, drug abuse and career disappointments. The abuse has also become rampant
and has caused psychological damage to the victims. The counselors are increasingly
utilized to help the victims.
- Gay Men and Lesbian Women- they are usually the victims of harassment, violence,
discrimination, and isolation. Gays and lesbians, like other sectors of the society, suffer
from peer denial, family clash, health uncertainties and prejudgment. Counseling will
focus on self-awareness, self- acceptance and understanding.
