Abstract
Clinical psychology is a branch of applied psychology which primarily focuses on the underlying mechanism and etiologies of psychological health and dysfunction. Recently new tools for counseling have emerged which have rendered deep rooted psychological malaise amenable to positive transformation. Electra complex is one such example in which congenital psycho-anomaly is found. This condition is highly resistant to treatment and suggestion. Incidences have occurred in which serious forensic issues have emerged in chronic Electra complex condition. In this paper a suggestion for formulation of treatment model have been put forth in the shape of “Rainbow Counseling”. The colors of rainbow i.e., VIBGYOR have been used to streamline the process of counseling. Added advantage of VIBGYOR is that the clinical psychologist shall not forget the steps in counseling. The authors hope that this process shall be aero-lifted by practitioner in this field. The authors would undertake this study further to make it more patients friendly.
Public health significance and caution is embedded in the personality disorder i.e., Electra complex. Since it is a psycho-anomaly its forensic ramification becomes inevitable. Therefore patients of Electra complex may be viewed through the trinity prism, i.e., disease, destruction and deviancy.
Keywords: Rainbow Counseling, Electra complex, clinical psychology, Proxy Phenomenon, congenital psycho-anomaly.
