Include if there are ethical or cultural limitations.Who invented the theory or who/what type of counselor is known for using it?Step 2: Applying the TheoryIdentify the target/treatment subject (i.e. children, seniors, couples, survivors of abuse, transgender people, people with drug addiction, ethnic minorities, etc.)Describe how you would respond. What skills would you use? Be specific!Identify how you would apply the theory you chose using Hill’s 3-stage model. Would you use this theory in exploration, insight, action, or in a combination of the three?Tell us if you think Hill would agree with your choicesBe sure to use skills identified by Hill’s 3-stage model in your application.Step 3: Personal ReflectionsTell us why you chose to apply a specific theory to the given scenario.Do you have any personal connections or experiences relating to your choices in this scenario?Scenario #1:Raphael, a 40-year-old Latinx man whose wife recently died, said, “I feel so depressed about the loss of my wife. She was my best friend, the love of my life. I can’t imagine living without her, yet I must go on and care for our children. She would want me to be the best dad in the world. But I know that I’m uncertain about how to handle their grief. They miss her too, and I am gone a lot because I have to work two jobs to pay all of the bills. What if they get in trouble? They have been such good kids. I feel so overwhelmed and so very alone.”Hint: you may want to consider providing examples of open question about feelings, reflection of feelings, and restatements in your response!
