Learning Objectives
Critically evaluate a construct(s) underlying a theoretical model.
Develop an understanding of how the construct(s) apply to how the theoretical model approaches emotional issues and psychotherapy.
Evidence understanding of some of the specific therapeutic interventions in more depth, including how this model can be applied with diverse populations.
Purpose
To enhance understanding of a specific contemporary (modern) psychodynamic or humanistic model of psychology (identified and discussed in this course), including its application in psychotherapy. This allows for an in-depth exploration of a theoretical model and its associated interventions.
Instructions
This assignment allows an in-depth exploration of a singular therapeutic theoretical model reviewed in the course and a key construct or underlying principle which underlies the model. Here are some examples of possible model and constructs/underlying principles one could consider:
Exploring relational patterns and transference in Object Relations approaches. One example could be experiencing the therapist as uninterested when they pause to think and are not responding, as the client had a parent who was preoccupied with their own difficulties, and not as responsive to the client’s needs.
The use of metaphors in gestalt therapy. One example could be an image in the dream being a metaphor for how a client sees themselves, such as a wave in the ocean.
Applying Adlerian lifestyle assessment in therapy. One example could be utilizing early recollections (memories) and related themes.
Empathy and congruence in person-centered therapy. One example could be exploring how a therapist is genuine and authentic while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Meaning and responsibility in existential therapy. One example could be attunement with the client and recognizing that their anxiety also relates to mortality and the purpose of their life.
