For this paper, you should write a brief paper about just one (and no more than one) counseling theory, using the category headings:

• General philosophical basis, or view of human nature


• Normal behavior or development


• What is problem behavior, or how do problems develop?


• How do people change / grow / improve / overcome?


• Therapeutic Relationship / what is the role of the counselor?


• What are some examples of techniques from this theory, or what does it look like in practice?

If you put those headings down in a document, you have your paper outline.

Some considerations for the above:

1. How do the identities of counselor and client factor into these categories? (You don't need to address this for every category, but some theories have limitations or strengths due to their applicability to people of a given identity).


2. This paper should have at least 2 PEER REVIEWED primary APA citations. Citations should be primary sources, not secondary sources (unless it is impossible to cite a primary source). For example:


3. 
   
   
   
   • Good example: Person-Centered theory focuses on conditions of the counselor-client relationship (Rogers, 1951).
     
   
   
   • What not to do: Person-Centered theory focuses on conditions of the counselor-client relationship (Corey, 2020).
     
   
   
   • You can use a secondary source, but it will not count toward the 2 primary sources.
   
   
   
   


4. No title page or abstract is required.


5. ** NO REFERENCE PAGE REQUIRED***


6. This should be double-spaced, in APA format, and use paragraphs, and not bullet points. You can use headings from the outline above, but you are not required to. Do not include an abstract page. Do not include a title page or reference page. Use A MINIMUM OF 2 PEER REVIEWED CITATIONS for this mini-paper.
