Choose two major theories of interest to explore in depth. For each theory, use at least two original sources
(e.g., articles written by the theory’s creator(s) published in professional, peer-reviewed journals or books
written by the theory’s creator(s)). There should be at least two original sources for the first theory and at least
two original sources for the second theory. You must have at least
five total references and may have more. The Corey text or a source other than
the theorist may ONLY be used as a fifth reference in the biographical and multicultural sections, since the
earlier theorists often do not explicitly address these points.
For each theory describe the following:
• Theorist’s biography and influences (What about the theorist’s life and characteristics might have led her/him
to create her/his theory?)
•Beliefs about human nature
•Why people have problems
•Role of the counselor
•Role of the client
•Therapeutic goals
•Multicultural considerations
Compare and contrast the two theories you have chosen. This section should cover
•A summation of the major points of each theory
•Similarities and differences between the theories (compare/contrast)
•Personal reaction to each
