Assignment:

I think remaining client-focused can help avoid getting stuck in a particular theoretical framework. Keeping the focus on the client's needs can breed curiosity. I think being curious as a counselor will allow you to look for the best counseling theory to use with your client, or possibly to blend theories together. If a client is rigid in their use of a single theory, it may give them a blind spot to other possibly beneficial theories.

Another thought I have is that a counselor may be able to explore a single theoretical framework more deeply. Over the past several weeks we have learned how complex some theories are. If I became stuck with some intervention strategies of a single theory, maybe I could try other strategies from the same framework. I think I would also use reflection to get unstuck. I would reflect on my own thoughts and progress with clients. I would also use reflection with clients to ascertain how they felt treatment was going. "An important aspect of the training of professionals in any discipline is reflection on one's practice, and the reflexive feeding back into practice of insights gained" (Gordon, 2004).
