Theories of Counseling

Theories of Counseling

A perfect symbol of your growth.

With DVD

Depending on where you look, you might see theories of counseling grouped numbering from four to one hundred thirty.

I will present a basic list of counseling theories on this page, and open a little wider discussion on linked pages.

I think that most of the theories that clinicians subscribe to are going to be in need of revision soon, given what fMRI (and other brain imaging tools) is revealing about blood activity in the brain when certain activities are being engaged in.

For example, Dr. Daniel Amen and spect scans are revealing a great deal about human brains and Helen Fisher, Ph.D. is describing the phenomenon of love as a function of activity in certain areas of the human brain.

In fact, Dr. Amen is tailoring individual treatments to clients brains, including psychotherapeutic, nutritional, biofeedback, stress management, and exercise components, for example, in large part based on his interpretation of 'spect' scans.

Will the poets soon write about dopamine and its lack thereof rather than sunsets and flowers? I think that could happen, but it would be a shame.

But here is our list.

1. Psychoanalytic.

2. Analytical/Jungian.

3. Adlerian.

4. Self-Psychology.

5. Time-Limited Dynamic.

6. Client-Centered.

7. Existential.

8. Gestalt.

9. Behavioral.

10. Cognitive.

11. REBT.

12. Reality.

13. Family Systems.

14. Biofeedback.

Would You Share Something That You Are Grateful For?

When I was beginning my personal growth journey, a wise person told me that when I was feeling resentful or afraid or sad, that I should remember the phrase "gratitude is the attitude" when I was ready to feel better. That phrase has helped me feel better tens of thousands of times.

Would you share what you are most grateful for? Your story could be just what another person is searching for to renew themselves? Thanks.
