Guidelines for Screening Registered SAT Health Behavior Supporters of AHC
PDIrrespective of the quality of the basic stance of SAT counseling, acceptability criteria for SAT target behavior support counseling based on the method of articulating feelings and the self-imaging method are:
- Is the client being counseled according to the established procedure?
- After applying the method of articulating feelings, did the stress level decrease 20% or more from what it was prior to the intervention?
- Is the target behavior set at the actual confidence level of 80$ or higher?
- In the taped record, is the person playing the part of the client speaking in a "voice full of life" that exudes assurance and self-confidence?
- Apply the self-imaging method in such a way that, as a general rule, the stress level is decreased to 30% or lower?
If the stress level does not decrease to 30% or lower, ask your client what has to be solved to achieve that target stress level, and have him/her indicate what comes to his/her mind in a flash, and then set that as the behavior to be targeted. - Judge the success of counseling on the basis of whether the words of empathetic encouragement uttered by the person playing the part of the counselor exude enough empathy to "touch the judge's heart."
