Theories of Counselling

Description

Practitioners delivering human services in the community often find themselves helping clients deal with the social and emotional issues that impede their growth and enjoyment of life. A thorough understanding of the theories and skills of counseling and psychotherapy is needed to help maximize the relationship and thereby the growth and wellbeing of the client. To this end the purpose of this course is to provide an examination and critique of the major counseling and psychotherapeutic methods. Students will explore and understand the key concepts of the theories including their major tenets and basic assumptions, and beliefs about the nature of stress, dysfunction, and therapeutic change, the role of the counselor, and the application of the theory to practice. Students will be asked to engage in a critical analysis of the scientific, cultural, and philosophical underpinnings of each theory. Special emphasis will be placed on integration and synthesis in order to match modalities with specific clients, issues, and populations.
