โฆ Synopsis
Fiftyโnine client cases were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Two core categories regarding counselors' perceptions of their clients emerged: (a) counselors' attempts to describe their clients' overall functioning and (b) counselors' descriptions of what counseling and the counseling relationship are like. For female clients, themes of โvulnerabilityโ and โattention to how clients assert themselvesโ were more pronounced than for male clients. For male clients, themes of โbeing stuckโ and โattention to how the client connects to othersโ were more pronounced than for female clients. Differences also emerged in the emphasis female and male counselors placed on specific themes.
