Discussion- Cognitive and Choice/Reality


 How are Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Choice/Reality therapy theories similar and different?

  1. What are some strengths and limitations of each theory?
  2. What are some ways that each theory is compatible and incompatible with Christian concepts? (Use Tan textbook)
  3. Based on each theory’s concept of psychopathology, discuss any limitations as far as creating measurable outcomes for clients. (Use Switzer and Rubin textbook to help with case conceptualization prior to discussing measurable outcomes)

*(Hint: While you will use the Corey book to help understand the theories, it is helpful to use the Switzer and Rubin textbook to guide case conceptualization; using this can help to understand measurable outcomes in prompt four. The Tan book is helpful for question three, regarding compatibility with Christian concepts)
