Reflection Paper Assignment
Write a 2 to 3 pages reflection paper (not including cover page and references) describing a preferred approach to counseling from the theories we have covered throughout the semester in our textbook (e.g., Adlerian, Existential, CBT). You may select one of the theories, or a combination of them, that you found to be most compatible with your beliefs, and most effective for helping clients deal with their problems.
All of the following needs to be addressed in your paper and you must LABEL EACH SECTION OF YOUR PAPER AS FOLLOWS:

2) Goals for Therapy: What are the most important goals for therapy according to the selected counseling theory?
3) Role of Therapist: What is your role and function as a therapist conducting this specific type of counseling?

5) Expectations of Client: What changes or outcomes would you expect to see from an individual after receiving this type of counseling?
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.
