Assignment - Theory IV

Introduction - Thus far, you have explored theory application and treatment planning with some of the traditional counseling theories, many of which have been in use for over 35 years. Next, you explore recent theoretical developments, which are distinguished not simply by their recency on the theoretical landscape, but because they differ philosophically from those theories covered thus far. This week-your last week that focuses specifically on theory integration-you explore narrative-collaborative and solution-focused therapy.

Theory Integration - For narrative-collaborative and solution-focused therapies, primacy is given to clients' own meaning-making of their family stories. In other words, change comes not from altering dysfunctional patterns of relating, but re-authoring the ways couples and families make meaning of their relationships. Consider the impact of such techniques if your theoretical orientation is more action-oriented in focus. Conversely, imagine the potential difficulties if narrative-collaborative is your chosen theory, but your clients are less inclined to talk about their problems and participate in this type of storytelling.

To prepare for this Discussion, select one of the theories demonstrated in the videos this week (either narrative-collaborative or solution-focused). Consider challenges you might encounter if you attempted to integrate the theory you selected with your theoretical orientation including, but not limited to, agency or private practice demands, ethical responsibilities, or theory incompatibility. Then, envision how you might mitigate these challenges by reflecting on those aspects of the theory that connect with you most and how you might capitalize on them.

With these thoughts in mind:
