Counseling Review Presentation Assignment Instructions

Overview

You will read the article provided that covers a secular/professional counseling technique called client centered therapy (CCT). After reading the article, review passages of scripture from the list below and look for evidence that CCT applies biblical truth. Review the article and passages of scripture again looking for the limitations of CCT to achieve life change that brings spiritual health.

Instructions

Create a 6–8 slide PowerPoint presentation with a title slide and a reference slide (title slide and reference slide not included in the slide count). The Bible and article should be cited throughout the presentation. Avoid using direct quotes within the presentation. Instead, paraphrase into your own words with citations. Bullet point format may be used.

The assignment should meet the following requirements:

  • In the first 3–4 slides show how the secular CCT model can be supported by biblical truth. Choose select passages of biblical truth from the list below to support your conclusions. Cite both the article and the Bible.
  • In the final 3–4 slides show the limitations of CCT to solve our greatest relational and spiritual health problems using support from biblical truth from some of the passages listed below. Think of different goals and expectations for the two types of counseling (secular/professional vs Christian/biblical) when determining limits.
  • Each slide should:
  • Include a summary of a specific point from the article (citing the article)
  • Address an area of scripture that supports this point (citing the verse in each slide and the version of the Bible used in the first slide)
  • Not use quotations. Instead, write your own summary and analysis with citations.
