Theoretical Orientation Analysis

275 Words2 Pages

From my perspective, different theoretical orientations are beneficial for different types of populations. I do not believe one theory fits all, as everyone has different attachment, and developmental levels. In the duration of the graduate program, I have been exposed to various theoretical approaches such as attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and a few others. However, I have encountered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and play therapy to be favorable when treating children/adolescents. With my limited counseling experience, at this point, I have certain preferences in theoretical orientation when treating

    Consequently, this week’s interpersonal/relational wiki proves to have a strong focus on therapies that analyze the core of relationships. Thus, the similarity that stood out was the depiction of relationships. Most of the models rely heavily on a client’s relationship, either with self, family, or society. While each model focuses on one’s relationship/s, each model differs in its perception of where relationships fail, how they are empowered and what role the therapist plays. In Relational-Culture Therapy (RCT) the therapist empowers clients through growth fostering relationships; Family Systems Theory (FST) the therapist remains neutral and creates structure; Adlerian therapists model social behaviour; Gestalt therapists create space for

    Operating from a theory will help me to remain focused on therapeutic goals and allow for more in-depth processing. In addition, biases can be managed more effectively while adhering to guidelines directing me to appropriate responses. I think counseling without a theoretical perspective is like going on a road trip without a map. After learning about many of the theories, the strategic family therapy seems to click with me the most. When I get chance, I am going to do additional research on this approach and ask questions as needed. By looking up videos of this approach I can begin to learn more in depth about what this theory looks like in practice.

    MSWI concluded that she doesn’t have the skills to build a healthy relationship with her son; therefore, MSWI believes that play therapy would be good for the client and bm. Play therapy will help bm increase attunement with her son, help Adam with his self-control, and help Adam improve his ability to take direction from someone else (Lowenstein, 2011). MSWI chose play therapy because it is good to use with solution-focused therapy. Also play therapy is good to use with families for interacting purposes and in this case, family play therapy is good because it will give a meaningful way for bm to interact with her son for the short time they are together. Family play therapy will be ongoing until family reunification occurs; it will help the mother increase her skills of how to interact her

    Much of what we, as counselors, base our work comes from empirical research and evidence based experience. Whether we are choosing to work from a specific theory or utilizing bits and pieces from many, neither leads us to complete competence. Even though a therapist may be following every ethical code and given theory there is always a question of was it the best for the client, and was it successful or not. There are times when it may be necessary to put aside what we have been taught and go with our “gut” feeling. We need to accept that we will not always have the answers and will make mistakes.

    Life Orientation: Analysis of results The research I conducted has ultimately disproved my hypothesis that female sexuality is not regarded equally to male sexuality as it is seen as taboo except in the case of conceiving a child whereas for males it is seen as a healthy part of growing up. The results show almost exactly equal responses to questions regardless of the gender in the scenario. In the written results it was seen that if a person believed in the existence and use of the word ‘slut’, they then all said that men can be ‘sluts.’ This furthers the idea that sexism in youth regarding the expression of sexual receptivity or interest, is no longer.
