Your Integrative Approach to Counseling
Write an integrative paper that addresses your personal theoretical orientation to counseling. Your paper should deal with aspects such as:
key concepts of your approach
view of your role as a counselor
therapeutic goals and how you would decide upon goals
relationship issues you are likely to consider
central techniques you are likely to employ
This particular essay should be about 5 to 6 pages in length and you should attempt to integrate as many concepts and techniques as you can have based upon two or more of the counseling models. I suggest you take a primary theory (one that comes closest to your beliefs and your theory of choice — and then branch out showing how you would draw techniques from several others theoretical approaches. Be sure to state why you select a particular theory as your main theory. Show how you could bring in ideas and techniques from the various theories you have studied into your own integrative theoretical stance.
