Theoretical Counseling Paper Part I: Personal Reaction Over the course of the semester you have been introduced to the various therapeutic approaches. You are to choose two approaches and write a reaction paper highlighting your personal reactions to the approaches. One approach will be your favorite or most preferred and the other will be your least preferred. At a minimum it will include initial reactions, premise/assumptions, what you liked or did not like, a description of a technique, and a critique of strengths and weaknesses to applications. References should be used as support. Part II: Worldview Paper This section will outline your own personal, evolving theory of counseling.

Look at this in a holistic view (mental, physical, spiritual, personal, and professional). In addition, you will write a paper describing your counseling worldview by identifying your beliefs, morals and values. State each belief in a sentence, explaining how you came to believe this, and how this belief may have an affect on you counseling diverse individuals. This will include your thoughts for room for improvement and growth as a counselor. Part III: Theoretical Orientation Discuss your own theoretical orientation. You can choose one or as many theories that apply to your orientation theory.
