Chapter 3: The 4P’s versus the 1P<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u201cOur highest priority is to protect our ability to prioritise\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

~ Greg Mckeown, Essentialism<\/i> p. 101.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Intake Model sees several essentials. While the Engagement Model narrows down to one essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

The traditional pedagogy based on a biopsychosocial perspective schools us to develop the 4 P\u2019s: Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating, and Protective factors about our clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

We must go beyond that. In order to engage our clients, we must train ourselves to spot the<\/i> essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we have two or more priorities, we lose any sort of focus. In the book Essentialism<\/i>, Greg Mckeown points out that 500 years ago, only the singular pronoun \u201cPriority\u201d existed. It was only at the turn of the 18th<\/sup> century that the plural \u201cpriorities\u201d entered our English lexicon.\u20601<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have to filter down from 4 P\u2019s to 1 P.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is one thing that my client needs help from me right now and is willing to work on in the first session?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

We may start broad, but we cannot end the first session without narrowing things down. The Intake Model exists in a framework that assumes clients are motivated to return for subsequent sessions. The Engagement Model believes that trust is earned and not a given.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Intake Model assumes there are a couple of priorities at play. The Engagement Model priorities figuring out what is the highest priority. It uses blinders like on a racehorse, not to restrict its vision, but to keep focused. An intentional constraint\u20602<\/span><\/sup> keeps you focused on your client\u2019s<\/i> priority<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Engagement Model, the law of sacrifice<\/i>\u20603<\/sup><\/span>\u2014giving up something of lesser value in order to attain something of greater value\u2014is at work. You might not get to comprehend a person\u2019s attachment history if he is experiencing anxiety right now. Neither would you be able to attain a complete psycho-social history and the details of every heartbreak he has encountered.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Engagement Model is not blind. It recognises that most clients do not just have one problem. It simply orders, ranks, and prioritises. It assumes that our ability to resonate and target their highest concern draws them into the ritual of therapy, one session at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n
