Theoretical Approaches

OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assignment is to aid you in understanding the theoretical approaches you have learned from this course and provide you with an easy-access guide as you move forward in the program. This assignment gives you an opportunity to show your ability to analyze and critically think through all approaches to counseling and decide which approach most closely with your own personal/professional style of counseling. Additionally, it is designed to aid you in developing your own evolving personal counseling style and theoretical orientation and consider how to implement it in a counseling setting. It can also serve as an excellent study tool for licensing exams.
