Theoretical Approaches & Counseling Techniques

Compare the counseling techniques you observed in the person-centered counseling videos (with the child, Wood), to the counseling techniques you observed in the video that corresponded to the additional chapter you selected in Counseling Children.

Identify the key similarities and differences between the two theoretical approaches in the following areas, using course readings to support your conclusions:

1. Typical therapeutic goals for helping children and adolescents.
2. Counseling methods and process used by the counselors used in the video sessions.
3. Specific techniques used by the counselors, and the client’s response.
4. Adaptability of the theory for use with children from diverse cultures and backgrounds.
