Final answer:
Option (c) Sharing with the client your gut instincts about what's going on is not an advanced empathy technique. Advanced empathy techniques include making the implied explicit, helping clients make connections, and sharing educated hunches based on an empathic understanding.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question asks which option is not an example of an advanced empathy technique. Advanced empathy involves a deeper level of understanding and responding to the feelings and experiences of the client. Options (a), (b), and (d) are considered advanced empathy techniques:
- (a) Helping clients make the implied explicit
- (b) Helping clients make connections that may be missing
- (d) Sharing educated hunches based on empathic understanding
However, option (c) Sharing with the client your gut instincts about what's going on is not considered an advanced empathy technique as it may not be based on a deep empathic understanding and could project the therapist's own feelings or biases onto the client.
Carl Rogers, a proponent of person-centered therapy, emphasized the importance of providing genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to clients as critical for their ability to deal with their problems, which is not directly related to either structuralism or functionalism in the context of psychological schools of thought.
