Verified Answers 2023/2024
What is the purpose of this book? correct answers To survey 11 counseling and psychotherapy
approaches, presenting the key concepts of each approach and discussing the therapeutic process
(including goals), the client-therapist relationship, and specific procedures used in the practice of
counseling.
Personal integration correct answers A framework for counseling that Corey recommends: he suggests
that we take concepts and techniques from different approaches and come up with a synthesis that
makes sense, with a caveat against amassing a hodge-podge of pieces merely because they support our
biases.
Theoretical Pluralism correct answers You don't have to pick just one theory as the "right" theory. It is
valid to entertain using more than one theory in your practice, in an integrative approach, especially in
the light of the fact that your clients will come from diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
How best to go about personal synthesis or integration of counseling approaches? correct answers First
get an overview of different approaches, then hone in on one particular approach in depth. This way of
integrating takes a lot of time (years) and effort (i.e., in depth research and reading).

person therapeutic relationship.

women as a major source of their psychological problems

narrative therapy all assume that there is no single truth; rather it is believed that reality is socially
constructed through human interaction. These approaches maintain that the client is an expert in his or
her own life.
Family systems therapy correct answers This systems approach is based on the assumption that the key
to changing the individual is understanding and working with the family.
Presenting one model to which all trainees subscribe is? correct answers dangerous in that it can limit
their effectiveness in working with a diverse range of future clients.
What oftentimes limit our freedom of choice? correct answers social, environmental, cultural, and
biological realities
