Assignment task: The development of a professional theoretical orientation as discussed in this chapter is a major task of the counselor; it's typically not a stagnant process. Discuss your orientation at this moment in time. You may have a fully developed orientation, describe it or you may just have ideas at this time, describe them. Saying that you are eclectic or integrative is not answering this question. You can be eclectic or integrative, but you'll still need to name the theory or theories that you practice from. At the very minimum, the expectation is to see ALL of the following components listed below addressed in your response.
Name of the theory or theories (for each one you name, you'll need to address the remaining points below for each one of them)
Key components of the theory
Is it directive or non-directive towards the client?
Name at least 2 techniques utilized in the theory
Describe why you feel this theory would be useful to clients
