1.) What is the problem that someone would bring to you or that you would be seeing in your counseling practice?
2.) What is the pathology of the issue? Name the Dx. What theory of development best aligns with the pathology or can be used to best explain the pathology? Describe the developmental theory with specifics and nuances to distinguish the problem and to address the problem. Cite sources.
3.) What are the factors contributing to the development of the problem (i.e., mental, behavioral, emotional, physiological, biological, academic, relational, etc.)? The factors you choose should be connected closely to the theoretical model’s assumptions for what leads to the dysfunction or pathology. What are healthy/unhealthy characteristics of those specific factors chosen (ex. What does an unhealthy relationship look like)?
*Take note that most theories and models for change typically address one primary factor when making change.
4.) How do you enact or facilitate change? Describe the specific ways in which you enact change. What model of counseling (or application of theory) best fits the treatment of the issue, based upon your description of pathology? What interventions, from your model, would you use? Describe how change occurs, do not just give a list of interventions or describe the interventions. NOTE: must go beyond regular core conditions!
5.) Describe the rationale for choosing the specific factors of change focused on in the paper. This can refer to any type of empirical evidence you have come by to support your theory of change. Cite source. If there is no empirical evidence for your model, then you can include personal anecdotal knowledge or experiences that may support your use of this particular model for healing.
6.) Describe the counselors’ role within the particular theoretical model. Cite sources.
7.) Describe how the specific model fits your counseling style. Describe how you use yourself in counseling. What personal characteristics of yours do you use in your counseling and how does who you are affect change in your clients?
