Role Reversal (Family Counseling)

Rationale

Role reversal is a dramatic counseling technique, which assesses the client’s ability to see through the eyes of the other person. To add, it enables the clients to think, feel and act out the other’s behavior rather than just talking about it. The assumption is that the family relationship will be looked at in a different way.

Purpose:


1. Disengage family from their usual self.

2. Practice new behaviors, which are part of the role.

3. Attend to an area that each needs to strengthen.

4. Reduce conflict.

5. Create a new challenge in the relationship.

Procedure:

The therapist begins by asking the clients to change roles. (Silence). Really feel yourself becoming that person. (Silence). Now become that person. (Silence). The therapist then asks the clients to change seats and begin.

The therapist serves as a guide and encourages the clients to speak and take turns.

Demonstration includes: using puppets. Dolls, pictures, etc…may also be used.
