Introduction
Imagine that all of the theories discussed in this course were presented to you on individual playing cards. If asked to select a card that most signifies your counseling style, which theory card would you choose? Would you be able to select just one? If the rules of the game changed, and you could select one or more cards, which would you draw then?
As discussed throughout this course, an integrative theoretical approach can help you provide effective interventions for your clients. However, attempting to draw from too many theories—or attempting to pair theories that pose too disparate ideals—can actually hinder your progress with a client.
This week, you consider which two theoretical approaches would be most effective in working with a specific population of clients.
