Consultation and Advocacy in the Counseling Profession Michael Keller COUN5004 Abstract This paper discusses the roles of consultation and social justice advocacy in the counseling profession. There is a discussion of how I see my role in advocacy and consultation as I become a professional in mental health. The paper will also discuss how I view consulting as it relates to advocacy. Finally, there is a brief hypothetical situation which then illustrates how knowledge of consultation and advocacy could be applied to correct it. Role of a Mental Health Counselor The role of a counselor as a social advocate has been discussed in literature since the late 1800’s (Smith, Reynolds, & Rovnak, 2009).
According to Rolfe (1993), nursing praxis is the “bringing together of theory and practice which involves a continual process of hypothesizing and testing out new ideas, and modifying practice according to the results” (p. 176). In contrast, according to Kilpatrick (2008), the main objective of praxis is to “integrate theory, practice and art, and facilitate the recognition and valuing of different types of knowledge through reflection” (p.116). This nursing scholar maintains that praxis is a combination of both theories. The integration of theory and practice lead to a continuous cycle of reflection that guides and modifies nursing practice. Nursing praxis can be utilized to develop nursing knowledge.

Word Count 2465 Module 1 Essay ‘ Evaluate the claim that Person- Centred Therapy offers the therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients’. I will start by discussing a brief history of person centred therapy and of ‘Carl Rogers’ theory of actualization and how it differs from other therapies theories and how by combining different theories gives the therapist more tools to treat clients. I shall continue with how he believed by providing three core conditions which he believed to be needed to be present to bring about change and how creating this environment/ situation can be difficult. Then I will discuss in more detail his theory of the personality and terminology used by Rogers and how this view point held is different to other therapeutic models.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Today there are many people that seek to individuals outside of their family as an outlet to express their frustrations and obstacles that may be going on within their lives and come to us as future counselors to assist them in working out their problems. According to Vacc (2000) counseling is a process in which a trained counselor helps an individual, groups of individuals or family members gain self-understanding and understanding of others in order to solve problems more effectively and resolve conflicts in everyday living. Within this paper I will discuss my favorite which is Cognitive Behavioral Theory also known as CBT. Further within the paper I will define, classify and explain the origin of how CBT came about. The reason I chose this therapy is the realistic understanding of directing individuals in seeking the best possible life given the powers and circumstances that exist.
