Describe your integrative approach to counseling In this section you are to discuss your personal theoretical orientation to counseling.

TERM PAPER GUIDELINES This paper is intended to help you to integrate the material we have covered in the course and I encourage you to consult this outline frequently for details. Plan ahead so that your paper will be turned in on time. Your paper is to be submitted to turnitin.com. Your paper will consist of several parts: 1. Describe your integrative approach to counseling In this section you are to discuss your personal theoretical orientation to counseling. It should address such issues as: • the key concepts of your approach • how you view your role as a counselor • your therapeutic goals and how you would decide upon those goals • relationship issues • techniques that you would employ • how you would address issues of cultural diversity During your readings and while watching the videos, most of you have found that you liked some theories and techniques more than others. You are to select one theory (the one that comes the closest to your beliefs) and then branch out to others. Then, pick a particular issue, topic, or population that interests you and will allow you to express you approach in addressing it. Be sure to explain why you selected that particular theory. This part of your paper, should be about 5-7 pages in length. Chapter15 & 16 include issues that you may want to address. 2. How these theories apply to you on a personal level Identify some of the ways that the various theories can teach you something about yourself personally. What specific ways can certain aspects or concepts of the different theories contribute to your self-understanding? How do the theories you studied have application not only to working with counseling clients, but to assist you in your own personal development? Identify a few specific personal applications of at least six of the theories. This part of your paper should be about 4-5 pages in length. Give reasons for your views rather than unsupported statements. When you take a position, provide reasons for your position. It is better to cover fewer issues in greater depth rather than trying to cover more in a superficial manner. 3. Integration and Application Your paper should emphasize the integration of perspectives and an application of them in a practical way. Rather than merely writing about a theoretical issue, you are to discuss how this issue would be reflected in a practical setting. This is also intended to have a personal and meaningful experience, so think about a particular population with whom you expect to work e.g. perhaps working with the elderly, or adolescents, or in corrections, etc. 4. Supporting material Since you will be integrating several approaches you are to cite at least 5 primary references that support the effectiveness of those interventions. You do not have to use 5 for each of the theories you use, but a total of five sources. Textbooks and other secondary sources may be used to supplement the five primary sources. Length: There is no specified length. It has been my experience that whenever a minimum length is specified, students tend to focus on that number of pages and write to fill the space. One of the purposes of this exercise is to help you to learn a scientific paper; one that is written clearly and concisely. Having said that, this is a third year course, and given the requirements, it is hard to imagine that it could be done in less that 12-15 pages of text (the text does not include the title page, abstract or references). The description of your approach will probably be 4-5 pages and at least 8-10 pages of your integration and application. Format: The paper is to be written in APA style

Outline must follow the position or proposal paper format and include all elements required for that individual paper.

Context Analysis To develop a good sense of your context in writing a position or proposal paper, you should answer the following questions. As is always the case, your understanding of the audience may change as you work on the assignment. You may, for example, get a clearer idea of what they know or expect, or you may change your ideas about the sort of format that is appropriate for them. Consequently, you may want to revise your context analysis as you work on your paper. Context Analysis WorksheetPreview the documentView in a new window The context analysis is NOT your essay or outline. It is only done to help you develop the essay. You will use the outline to help you write the essay later in the semester after you’ve done a context analysis first. Position/Proposal Paper Outlines Included is an outline for a full position paper and a full proposal paper. There is some sample content included to show you what your outline should look like. Use one of these outlines for your proposed paper. Remember, you will only write the outline for this paper, not the essay. And where there are blanks in the example outline, you will need to fill it in so that your outline is complete. This is a work in progress, so although it needs to be complete for this assignment, you will revisit this outline during the research process and update and change it as needed. You can change as much of it as possible after this version is submitted, as long as you don’t change the topic. You can change from position to proposal or vice versa. You can change sides on the issue or change your proposed solution. This is a living document. This assignment is to prove that you understand the type of paper you will eventually write and to give you a starting point. The better you do on the outline, the easier it will be to write the final paper.
