You are going on your first job interview as a newly licensed therapist. You are asked to describe and explain your theoretical orientation during the interview. You are then asked to illustrate your application of theory to a clinical case. In this paper, please integrate and discuss two theoretical orientations as they apply to the case conceptualization and treatment of Gwen or Stan (vignettes throughout Corey textbook chapters). This is your personal opportunity to demonstrate your theoretical acuity and orientation, demonstrate the appropriateness of fit of the given theories to the case you’ve selected, and support your positions with biographical vignette data and scholarly, peer-reviewed research.You are going on your first job interview as a newly licensed therapist.

In my theoretical approach I chooose Stan:
This is Stan – Stan comes to counseling because of his drinking. He was convicted of driving under the influence, and the judge determined that he needed professional help. Stan recognizes that he does have problems, but he is not con- vinced that he is addicted to alcohol. Stan arrives for an intake interview and pro- vides the counselor with this information:
At the present time I work in construction. I like building houses, but probably won’t stay in construction for the rest of my life. When it comes to my personal life, I’ve always had difficulty in getting along with people. I could be called a “loner.” I like people in my life, but I don’t seem to know how to stay close to people. It probably has a lot to do with why I drink. I’m not very good at making friends or getting close to people. Probably the reason I sometimes drink a bit too much is because I’m so scared when it comes to socializing. Even though I hate to admit it, when I drink, things are not quite so overwhelming. When I look at others, they seem to know the right things to say. Next to them I feel dumb. I’m afraid that people don’t find me very interesting. I’d like to turn my life around, but I just don’t know where to begin. That’s why I went back to school. I’m a part- time college student majoring in psychology. I want to better myself. In one of my classes, Psychology of Personal Adjustment, we talked about ourselves and how people change. We also had to write an autobiographical paper.The setting is a community mental health agency where both individual and group counseling are available.

Stan recognizes that he does have problems, but he is not con- vinced that he is addicted to alcohol. Stan arrives for an intake interview and pro- vides the counselor with this information:
