I recognize the importance of all of the theories and theorists discussed, and I was able to relate to some more than others. I was able to develop my own personal, intervention theory based on cognitive and multicultural approaches to therapy. My personal intervention theory, along with the rest of the theories and concepts discussed in this course gave me insight into the world of psychotherapy and will aid me in my journey of pursuing a career with troubled youth in the future.

In the mini-lecture by Dr. Sue he states, “MCT can be defined as both a helping role and process that uses modalities and defines goals, consistent with the life experiences and cultural values of clients.” He also states that MCT involves broadening the role that counselors plays and therefore need to play multiple roles that involve not only the traditional role but systems intervention as well. It is important to avoid a blind application of techniques to all situations and all populations. Another important role is building a therapeutic alliance using empathy, positive regard, respect, warmth and genuineness, self-disclosure, management of counter transference and agreement on goals between the counselor and client (Sue & Sue, 2013) What is the significance of a client's social and cultural context within MCT? Multicultural therapy balances the individualism approach with the collective approach and acknowledges families, significant others, communities and cultures (Sue & Sue, 2013). In MCT the client’s social and cultural background is of importance.

Humanistic and Existential Theories Influence Interpersonal Relationships According to The Humanistic and Existent Theory influence on interpersonal relationships, people will try and associate with other people and try to connect in a healthy and productive relationship, but in all they will be alone. “Abraham Maslow believed fulfilling love and belongingness was a primal need and must be filled by friendship, creating a family, having a mate and maintaining associations with others. He proposed fulfillment at this level was essential for other levels of human success” (Feist and Feist). Our social construction will help us claim the knowledge, personality and behavior will be constructed from any social interaction and learning theories will define how the human being can learn from their behavior and personality according to the response from their environment will have some considerations internally. The humanistic theory has the great tendency to encourage the human drive toward an ultimate goal that is predetermined.
Emotional Intelligence Paper Lori Cannella PSY/301 March 12, 2012 Patricia Robinson Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence plays an important role in our lives because it helps us develop better relationships. The five classifications of emotional intelligence are: emotional self- awareness, emotional self-control and management, empathy, self-motivation and the ability to manage relationships with others.

Authors Brian Taber and Todd Leibert found during the course of their study that any sort of congruence between the therapist and the client is clearly associated with the bond that the two parties make at a very early stage in the therapeutic stages. The two were also quick to point out that this same congruence leads to a certain feel of validation by the clients toward their therapists.
