Choosing Theories for Practice

Why?

& Patrick Leung
Reason #1: Evidence-Based Practice




4
Clinical practice is fragmented by over 400 “theories” or
systems of psychotherapy.
Many of these “theories” often claim superior
effectiveness without controlled research.
Comparative analyses will find strengths and limitations
when theories are applied in various situations.
Understanding each theory will find an integrative
structure for practice.

Reason #2: Fitting Your Style


5
You may feel more comfortable with some
techniques while feel uneasy with others.
You will try different theories to identify
techniques that help you expand your
therapeutic integration.

& Patrick Leung
Reason #3: Best Practice


Each of your clients is unique.
You will find the best practice approaches
through familiarity with various theories so
that you will work effectively

Transtheoretical Framework:
Stages of Change
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
12
Precontemplation: No intention to change behavior in the
foreseeable future; unaware or underaware of problems
Contemplation: Aware of the existence of a problem and seriously
thinking about overcoming it; not yet made a commitment to take
action
Preparation: Combines intention and behavioral criteria with an intent
to take action, knowing past efforts have been unsuccessful
Action: Modifies behavior, experiences, or environment in order to
overcome problems, with considerable commitment of time and energy
Maintenance: Works to prevent relapse and consolidate the gains
attained during action
Termination: Identify future goals for change and close the case
file.

Therapeutic Process


13
Theories of personality & psychopathology tell us
what has to be changed; theories of process tell us
how change occurs
Traditional interventions often assume that individuals
are ready for an immediate and permanent behavior
change, while transtheoretical models appreciate
human diversity as a factor to determine appropriate
interventions.

Case of Joe and Mary’s Family

Intake: This family is composed of Joe (42), Mary
(38), and their two children, Ami (16) and Kevin (8).
The couple has been married for 17 years. In the
past two years, they have been experiencing
communication difficulties with their children and are
therefore seeking help to “glue” the family back
together. Joe is a mechanical engineer and Mary is a
substitute school teacher who has recently been
attending a graduate social work program. They
describe themselves as a middle-class family.

Case of Joe and Mary’s Family

Initial Assessment: Joe has expressed complaints about Mary’s
inconsistent parenting style. He disagrees with how Mary
handles the family’s finances and the unreasonable spending of
their children. At the same time, Mary has presented
symptoms of emotional distress with no recognized physical
cause. Mary feels that both children are concerned about her
constant arguments with Joe, and the children seem to have
trouble concentrating on their studies. Ami and Kevin disagree
with their parents and believe that the issue lies within their
parents; they are willing to attend family counseling with their
parents in an effort to clarify their parents’ miscommunication.
The family has not had a shared activity for many years and the
children’s social activities have been limited.

Stop for a moment and think “JOY”. And
let that thought pour over you. Stop for a
moment and think “LOVE” and let those
feelings pour over you. Wherever you
are, whatever you are doing, at any time
in any day, just stop for a moment.
