COUN 615 | Humanistic Theories and Techniques

Foundational affect-oriented theories are compared and built upon: person-centered and gestalt therapies with additional focus on transactional analysis, narrative therapy, solution-focused, and emerging approaches emphasizing mindfulness. These theories are philosophically rooted in the humanistic-existential school of thought and provide experience in major modes of therapeutic intervention: reflection, confrontation, interpretation, awareness and experiment.
