Theory-Based Communication
Can you choose one theory from each of the six schools of
thought (psychodynamic, behavioral, pragmatic, humanistic, constructivist, and
family) See attachment Theory-Based Communication. Create six comments or
questions that reflect the foundations of the theory that a counselor would say
to a client in a therapeutic session. Refer to the Theory-Based Communications
Chart attached for examples if needed.
In addition can you provide a rationale for each question or
comment that supports its grounding within that particular theory. For example,
if you create a person-centered statement, explain what about the content of
the statement makes it person-centered.
