Imagine that you’ve been asked to complete a presentation for a prospective employer on counseling theory, why theory is used in counseling, and why theory is necessary to be an effective counselor.
Create a 25-30-slide PowerPoint presentation that discusses the role of each theoretical framework in providing effective professional counseling services.
The presentation must include each theoretical framework that has been completed in the Theory Review Chart up to this point.
Use the following guidelines to complete your presentation:
Include a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference slide. (7 slides minimum)
Provide an overview of each theoretical framework: psychodynamic, existential-humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and post-modern. Describe their significance in providing effective counseling services. (7 slides minimum)
Discuss at least two theories/approaches and two therapeutic techniques representative of each of the four theoretical frameworks. For example, you may choose to discuss Gestalt therapy and “using now language” and person-centered therapy and “applications of empathetic responding” to represent the existential-humanistic theoretical framework. (11 slides minimum)
Limit the lines on each slide to four.
Cite sources used as you would when writing a paper. The final slide should contain the references used in your presentation. Only list those sources on the references slide that you cited. You must include a minimum of three academic references to support your presentation beyond the textbook.
