Оглавление

As noted earlier, we wanted the reader to be able to make comparisons between and among the theories by having all the contributors follow the same outline and develop a treatment plan, focused on goals, for one hypothetical client named Clarita. The authors of Chapters 2 through 17 followed the outline below as they discuss each theory in relation to the case study of Clarita.

4 ApplicationsThis section includes the following secondary areas:Overview: An introduction to the five areas that follow.Goals of counseling and psychotherapy: A description of desired client outcomes based on the tenets of the theory.The process of change: The factors within the theory that address what brings about change in the individual.Techniques and interventions: Techniques for implementing the process of change.

The goals and interventions/techniques should be directly connected to the theory being used for the case study.
