NHCS: They Do More Harm Than Good:
The use of Transactional Analysis is used; however the theory has been twisted and a "Robotic Adult" component has been added. During marital counseling, spouses participate in an individual mini-counseling session - airing their grievances to the therapist first, then they are brought together. Ultimately the therapist gets to decide which grievance is the most important to address. Often times the person who is being placed on the defensive is chastised by the therapist for their behavior in a parental way. Once the client(s) can no longer be "helped," without warning, the therapist terminates services. Please steer clear of these counselors. They do more harm and more damage than good.
