You are required to write a two-page essay critically comparing the role of the psychologist, and the
approach they would take towards psychotherapy from a first order, and a second order approach.
In your essay, discuss how one considers the concept of change, and how change is conceptualised from a
FOC and a SOC (as per Becvar and Becvar, 2014).
In order to complete this assignment successfully, you must work through the sections of the prescribed
book you have already covered for the preceding sections, with a focus on chapters.
This is a written assignment, and you must submit it online as a PDF document via myUnisa. Remember to
include a cover page, a table of contents and a plagiarism declaration(see Additional Resources).
Remember to acknowledge your sources both in text, and in a reference list by following APA 7th edition
referencing guidelines. All of these components must form part of a single document – do not submit these
documents separately, and do not submit them via e-mail.
Please note the following:
• Please ensure that your PDF document is not a read-only document, as if it is, the on-screen marking
tools will not work.
• Assignment 3 must be submitted via myUnisa no later than the stipulated due date. There will be NO
EXTENSIONS for assignment 3.
• IMPORTANT: Assignment 3 and assignment 4 are linked in the form of a peer-review assignment.
Assignment 3 will be peer-reviewed, and an aggregate mark will be obtained from all the reviews you
receive. The review process (which is assignment 4) is a difficult process, and requires meta-skills and
critical thinking.
