Instructions

Considering the two modalities (Emotional Focus therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) taught within this unit, select the approach that most resonates with you and using theoretical

perspectives, provide a rationale for your choice. 

 

Using advanced critical awareness, compare and contrast both theoretical and practical aspects of the modalities, then utilising the framework of assimilative integration, outline an approach that you would consider using in practice. 

Key factors inherent within both theories which you might consider include their respective assumptions and explanations of human nature, psychopathology and the change process.

 

Rationale & Expectations

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate mastery in understanding theoretical and practical approaches to

counselling as well as how they are similar and differ. 

 

Students have the opportunity to synthesise theoretical knowledge using an integration framework. 

 

This task meets the following Learning Outcomes:

1. Critically examine the theoretical tenets and practices of two main theories of counselling. 

2. Evaluate the movement towards psychotherapy integration with a view to how this shapes their counselling practice. 

3. Plan how to incorporate integrative counselling theory into their approach to practice.

 

This assignment should be substantiated by reference to the Unit textbook and any other resources the student uses.

COUNSELLING FOR PARENTS

Although most people are able to independently work through the broad range of reactions that follow the diagnosis of their child, some experience difficulty in resolving their feelings and emotions and may seek counselling to help them resolve their pain and clarify their thoughts. 

Counselling include; 

(a) helping the person to accept the reality that their child has a disorder; 

(b) assisting the person to work through the emotions of anger, guilt, anxiety and helplessness that he or she is feeling; and 

(c) reassuring the person that what he or she is experiencing is normal.
