Clinical Theory

Clinical Theory

This research-based paper represents your clinical journey as a MA Psychology, Counseling Specialization student, offering to the reader your resultant personal theory

of counseling. This theory should be an integration of the various theories presented in curriculum blended with your own ideas of ethical and skilled practice. The

paper should reflect your personal lens on ideally, what practice in the chair could look like. After two years of theoretical curriculum, experiential learning and

internship, we are interested in how you are shaping your own unique perspective about psychotherapy and how change comes about in the therapeutic relationship. The

ideas you present in your paper should be cohesive and coherent.

Questions
1 What are specific ideas from the primary theoretical models we have studied ( Bowen, Narrative Therapy, Structural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution

Focused Therapy.) that you find especially useful as resources while developing your personal theory of counseling? Why? What ideas from these models do you not find

particularly useful? Are critical of? Why? (In responding to this and the next question, please do not simply summarize the theories we have studied.) Be sure to

include clinical examples to support your position.
