"Developing Your Theoretical Orientation in Counseling and Psychotherapy is a text that provides therapists-in-training with tools, strategies, and activities to formulate their response to the age-old question, "What's your theoretical orientation?"" "Highlights of this new text: provides a model for Intentional Theory Selection, which assists counselors and psychotherapists with the process of finding their own theoretical orientation; addresses specific strategies and activities for finding a theoretical orientation, allowing students to process their own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about various theories (Chapter 3); and presents the "Selective Theory Sorter," a quiz that allows students to answer questions regarding their beliefs about people and the psychotherapy process. Once it is completed, students receive a score that indicates the theories to which they are most drawn (Chapter 3)."--BOOK JACKET.
