In this review of the Three Psychotherapies that were implemented in the Gloria Tapes it is apparent how different the three approaches are even though they are all considered psychotherapy. The three therapies used on these tapes were the client centered approach by Carl Rogers, rational emotive theory by Albert Ellis and the Gestalt theory by Fritz Perls. In this review the three approaches will be examined to analyze the different therapies and interviewing techniques. In looking at the first approach Carl Rogers uses client centered therapy. Rogers’ approach seemed to me to be the most client friendly technique.

The information presented within this paper will provide the reader with the different sociological theories, specifically the functionalist, the conflict and the interactionist perspectives, and how each perspective could approach and evaluate drug abuse in today’s society. The Functionalist Perspective The functionalist perspective thinks of society as a living organism in which each part of the organism contributes to its survival, which emphasizes the way in which the parts of a society are structured to maintain stability (Schaefer, 2011). In essence the functionalist perspective as it relates to drug abuse, argues that society provides us with social norms and guidelines, which identify the appropriate use of drugs and alcohol.

Another significant factor in planning for withdrawal management is Clare’s poly-drug use with alcohol and cannabis.
