reflection paper (not including cover page and references) describing a preferred approach to counseling from the theories we have covered throughout the semester in the Corey textbook

I’m trying to study for my Psychology course and I need some help to understand this question.

Students are expected to write a 2-3 page reflection paper (not including cover page and references) describing a preferred approach to counseling from the theories we have covered throughout the semester in the Corey textbook. The paper must be double spaced and written in APA format with a cover sheet and references. You may select one of the types of therapies that we have studied throughout the semester (e.g., Behavioral, CBT, PCT, Gestalt), or a combination of them, that you found to be most compatible with your beliefs, and most effective for helping clients deal their problems.

All of the following needs to be addressed in your paper and YOU MUST LABEL EACH SECTION accordingly as follows:

• Selected Counseling Theory: Which therapy or therapies from the selected readings did you select and why?
• Goals for Therapy: What are the most important goals for therapy according to the selected therapy?
• Role of Therapist: What is your role and function as a therapist from the selected therapy?
• Techniques: What techniques would you be likely to apply to a specific problem(s) (from the selected approach)?
• Expectations of Client: What would you expect from your client when using the selected therapy?

Make sure that your opinions and assertions are supported by the information in the text and consistent with the theory or theories you selected. You should use the text as a reference as well as at least one outside resource and refer to it in your paper.

Grading Rubric for Paper – 8 Points

• COVERAGE OF THE REQUIRED CONTENT- (should reflect accurate understanding of the selected therapy and concepts and include all sections) 6 POINTS
• USE OF TEXT AND AT LEAST ONE OUTSIDE RESOURCE WITH REFERENCE LISTED- 1 POINT
• USE OF CORRECT GRAMMAR AND APA FORMAT- 1POINT

Papers will be submitted through Turnitin. Make sure that you DO NOT use outside material without giving full credit and reference to source. Also, you are not permitted to used other student papers as a resource. Papers submitted with more than 35% overlap will be reviewed for plagiarism and grade lowered accordingly.
