HOW TO DO A TECHNIQUES SUMMARY
Karl Kirkland
Basic Counseling Techniques/Helping Rela FT 7336
The technique summary is intended to be a shorthand tool for summarizing a technique. I wanted to create a standard protocol or tool that would be used to access a theory in the same way each time.
Techniques Summaries: These assessments (11 total) are designed to help you become an active learner through consistent immersion in the concepts taught in this course. I want you to write professionally in the 3rd person, such as “Reflective listening is a technique that involves”…. no use of 1st person. I predict that you will learn about yourself as you learn the course content. Length: 3 pages double-spaced 12 point Times New Roman font). If you use references, use APA style. Here is the format: TECHNIQUES TEMPLATE TECHNIQUE OR INTERVENTION:
THEORY OF WHY IT WORKS?
BARRIERS TO SUCCESS (WHAT COULD PREVENT SUCCESS)?
SPECIFIC MECHANISM (The “HOW”) OF CHANGE
GOALS/OUTCOME OF THE TECHNIQUE
GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE TECHNIQUE IN ACTION
LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER HELP
