2. Theories Paper
A goal of this course is for you to become familiar enough with at least three counseling theories to be able to utilize them in your work with clients beginning with EDC 668 Counseling Pre Practicum and EDC 669 Practicum. Current best practice requires you to learn and utilize at least two evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational-Emotive Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (including Mindfulness), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
For this paper, choose three counseling theories (at least two of which are evidence-based) and describe the following about each:
1. Key figures and major focus
2. Philosophy and basic assumptions about what people need in order to change
3. Key concepts
4. Therapeutic goals
5. Therapeutic relationship
6. Techniques and procedures
7. Applications (For what kind of client is this theory appropriate?)
8. Limitations
For each theory, please discuss the ways in which the theory coincides or challenges your own personal view of human nature and what is necessary to facilitate change.
APA style. 8-12 pages. Include at least five additional scholarly/peer-reviewed references. Refrain from the use of first person language in academic/graduate level writing.
