  • What will be the goals of counseling and what intervention strategies are used to accomplish those goals?
  • Describe the process of treatment using this theory. This should include a description of the length of treatment, the role of the counselor, and the experience of the client as they work from beginning to termination of therapy.
  • How does this theory address the social and cultural needs of the client? (Cite specific research findings)
  • Describe how your chosen theory supports the use of a constructivist philosophy throughout the counseling process. How does a collaborative approach change the ability for clients to create and accomplish their goals through counseling services?
  • How should a counselor who utilizes post-modern / collaborative approaches interact with their clients in order to prevent undue harm, risk, or confusion from impeding the progress of therapy?

Answer preview

Constructivism is a method of learning that people can develop their own knowledge based on their experiences and realities (Wilkinson et al., 2019). In Ana’s situation, her issues prevent her from seeing answers, and she believes she is incapable of moving forward on her own. When we observe a case as counselors, we must be honest with our clients and explain that everyone has challenges. Despite the fact that some issues may be more serious than others, it is clear that everyone is capable of handling any challenge if they have confidence in themselves, do not let their anxieties rule their thinking, and think positively as opposed to negatively.
