Objective:
Understand how theory informs clinical practice by identifying therapy methods, interventions, and goals.
Theory determines methods (intervention/techniques/activities) a clinician uses. It helps provide structure for sorting and organizing structure.
Each week, a specific theory will be highlighted. Your task is to:
Identify a therapy method derived from the week’s theory.
Describe an intervention associated with this method.
Alternatively, you may identify and write a specific therapy goal aligned with the theory.
Citation Requirement:
All sources used to identify and describe the therapy methods, interventions, and goals must be properly cited in APA format. This includes textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and other reputable sources.
This assignment may require additional research beyond the provided textbook. Utilize reputable sources to support your findings.
Example:
Theory: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Therapy Method: Cognitive restructuring
Intervention: Teaching clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns.
Goal: Help clients develop healthier thinking patterns to reduce symptoms of depression
