Application: Differentiation of How Problems Arise and People Change from Three Theories—Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Psychodynamic
As you learned from the resources this week, person-centered theory focuses on client’s strengths and self-determination, and client-focused resolutions of developmental challenges that he or she may face. This means that the foremost considerations for the psychologist working within the person-centered framework are how well the client is functioning (rather than solely looking at the problems a client is having), the disparity between who the client feels he or she is (the real) and who the client wishes he or she were (the ideal), as well as the need for all humans to experience “unconditional positive regard.”
Is this Application Assignment, you consider person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral theories in terms of how clients’ problems arise and how clients change. After reviewing the basic tenets and beliefs of these theories, you analyze the differences between them with respect to these two areas—problem causation and resolution. You also reflect on how studying person-centered theory has influenced your own evolving theoretical orientation.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review, if necessary, and then evaluate the basic tenets of person-centered theory.
Review the “Person-Centered Counseling” section on the course DVD, Counseling: Theories in Action. Pay particular attention to psychologist and client interactions.
Review prior weeks and assignments regarding psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral theories. Focus on how psychologists and clients interact.
Think about the similarities and differences between the three theories (person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic) with respect to how client problems arise and how people change. Consider your own perspectives on these issues.
The assignment: (4 pages)
Briefly, describe and evaluate two of the basic tenets of the person-centered theory.
Compare (similarities and differences) among person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic theories with respect to how client problems arise and how people change.
Analyze this information with respect to your beliefs about how problems arise and how people change. Explain the effect that person-centered theory has had on your own theoretical orientation.
Outline your thoughts on how your theoretical orientation has evolved and identify which of the three theories (person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic) best resonates with you and why.
Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course. Keep in mind the importance of using empirically supported research to support your points of view.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
