Introduction

When the Dutch text of Core Qualities: a Gateway to Human Resources was published in
1992, I was mainly concerned with the business world and with management. As a management consultant, this was (and still is) my primary field of employment. In that book I introduced the concept of core quadrants, a model which provides a simple way of gaining an insight into one’s own particular qualities. To my astonishment and pleasure, it became a bestseller. The simplicity of the model appealed to many then, and continues to so today, so much so that it has almost found a place in the Dutch language.
In the Netherlands there are hardly any courses (whether formal or otherwise) that do not have core quadrants on the syllabus. Universities, colleges of higher education, and even primary schools; hairdressing and secretarial courses; courses for solicitors and real estate agents; law degrees; degrees in economics; nursing courses; teaching courses; courses for family and relationship therapists: you name it. Why? The reason is that the model is simple in the extreme – almost suspiciously so. You only need five pages to get the essence of the theory. It can be explained in ten minutes. Then you spend two hours on it – or the rest of your life. One can discuss personal qualities with children as young as twelve: what they are

    As such, therapists may exercise bias in taking sides with one member of the family against others or may become too involved with keeping the family together more than the family members themselves (Corey, Corey & Callanan, 2006). The therapist’s role, however, is to assist couples and family members in seeing their actions clearly, help them explore and clarify their values and to help them make more honest assessments of how well their current patterns are working for them (Corey, Corey & Callanan,…

    Core Competency involves incorporating diversity into practice. This skill is associated with several practice behaviors that I will be linking to specific artifacts. The first practice behavior is transforming one’s behavior in response to recognition of one’s biases based in difference and culture. This practice behavior relates to an Alcohol Anonymous meeting that I attended, and I had to write a reflection for my substance abuse class. The second practice behavior is modifying and adapting mainstream knowledge and interventions to meet \ needs of diverse populations and that challenge oppression. This consisted of a population at risk paper I wrote for class regarding human trafficking. The third practice behavior is applying strengths…

    Watching the video of the relationship therapist being interviewed taught me about what she does and some of the problems she sees in relationships. I didn’t know that you could have more than one specialty as a therapist. I always thought that if you were a couple’s therapist you dealt with romantic relationship problems. I thought family therapists dealt with familial problems and I just figured that work related issues would be addressed in a private therapy session, unless the company you work for holds group therapy sessions for their employees. I was also very surprised to hear that men come to Ms. Vatcher for help as often as women do. I have always assumed that men are the people that are most skeptical about therapy. I also believed they were the very last people that would ask for help.…
