Respond to all of the following questions related to Psychoanalytic, Adlerian, and Existential Therapy. Make sure to reply to 2 other posts and consult and list (in APA Style) an outside resource (see grading rubric below).?
1. Select one of the defense mechanisms from the reading and provide a description and a specific example the the defense mechanism being used. You can apply this to yourself or someone that you know.?
2. Compare and contrast your own family experience with Adler’s view on birth order. Is your experience consistent regarding his take on sibling relationship and birth position?? Provide support for your response as to why or why not.
3. According to the text, “Existential Therapy places central prominence on the person-to-person relationship. It assumes that client growth occurs through this genuine encounter. It is not the techniques a therapist uses that makes a therapeutic difference; rather it is the quality of that client-therapist relationship that heals” (p. 157).
1. Question: What is your reaction related to this notion? Make sure to support your opinion with information from the textbook reading or other referenced sources.

Preface to Tenth Edition
T his book is intended for counseling courses for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, counselor education, human services, and the mental
health professions. It surveys the major concepts and practices of the contemporary
therapeutic systems and addresses some ethical and professional issues in counsel-
ing practice. The book aims to teach students to select wisely from various theories
and techniques and to begin to develop a personal style of counseling.
I have found that students appreciate an overview of the divergent contempo-
rary approaches to counseling and psychotherapy. They also consistently say that
the first course in counseling means more to them when it deals with them person-
ally. Therefore, I stress the practical applications of the material and encourage per-
sonal reflection. Using this book can be both a personal and an academic learning
experience.
In this tenth edition, every effort has been made to retain the major qualities
that students and professors have found useful in the previous editions: the succinct
overview of the key concepts of each theory and their implications for practice, the
straightforward and personal style, and the book?s comprehensive scope. Care has
been taken to present the theories in an accurate and fair way. I have attempted to
be simple, clear, and concise. Because many students want suggestions for supple-
mentary reading as they study each therapy approach, I have included an updated
reading list at the end of each chapter and a list of references for each chapter at the
end of the book.
This tenth edition updates the material and refines existing discussions. Part 1
deals with issues that are basic to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy.
Chapter 1 puts the book into perspective, then students are introduced to the
counselor?as a person and a professional?in Chapter 2. This chapter addresses a
number of topics pertaining to the role of the counselor as a person and the ther-
apeutic relationship. Chapter 3 introduces students to some key ethical issues in
counseling practice, and several of the topics in this chapter have been updated and
expanded. Expanded coverage is given to the ACA?s 2014 Code of Ethics.
Part 2 is devoted to a consideration of 11 theories of counseling. Each of the
theory chapters follows a common organizational pattern, and students can easily
compare and contrast the various models. This pattern includes core topics such as
key concepts, the therapeutic process, therapeutic techniques and procedures, mul-
ticultural perspectives, the theory applied to the case of Stan and new to this edition
to the case of Gwen, and summary and evaluation. In this tenth edition, each of the
chapters in Part 2 has been revised, updated, and expanded to reflect recent trends,
and references have been updated as well. Revisions were based on the recommenda-
tions of experts in each theory, all of whom are listed in the Acknowledgments sec-
tion. Attention was given to current trends and recent developments in the practice
of each theoretical approach.
