Week 8 Discussion: Applying Family, Feminist, and Transpersonal Theories
Reflect upon two personal or professional goals you might like to achieve. If you were to visit a counselor with these goals in mind, which theoretical approach might help you to achieve them? In addition, what type of counseling style might you connect with the most?
