Comparative Analysis of Therapeutic Approaches in “Three Approaches to Psychotherapy I, II, and III” Due

This assignment requires you to compare and contrast the therapeutic approaches demonstrated in “Three Approaches to Psychotherapy I, II, and III” aka “The Gloria Films.” By comparing and contrasting the techniques employed by Carl Rogers (Chapter 14), Fritz Perls (Chapter 15), and Albert Ellis (Chapter 12), you will develop a deeper understanding of the core principles and practical applications of these influential therapeutic modalities.

Instructions:

1. Watch the Films: Carefully view all three sessions of “The Gloria Films,” focusing on the therapeutic techniques and interventions utilized by each therapist. (Youtube Link for all three together :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9oRc9DR4GQLinks to an external site.)
2. Identify Core Therapeutic Approaches: Clearly delineate the primary therapeutic orientation (e.g., Person-Centered, Gestalt, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) of each therapist. You can use your book to help you figure this out if it is not clear.
3. Comparative Analysis:
   • Compare and contrast the therapeutic techniques employed by each therapist.
   • Analyze the therapeutic relationship established by each therapist with Gloria.
   • Evaluate the effectiveness of each therapeutic approach in addressing Gloria’s presenting problems.
   • Consider the potential outcomes of each therapeutic approach for Gloria’s long-term well-being.
4. Critical Evaluation:
   • Critically assess the strengths and limitations of each therapeutic approach as demonstrated in the films.
   • Reflect on the ethical implications of the therapeutic interventions used by each therapist.
   • Discuss the potential cultural and diversity considerations that might influence the effectiveness of each approach.
5. Integration of Theory and Practice:
   • Relate the therapeutic techniques observed in the films to the core concepts and principles of each theoretical orientation.
   • Apply your understanding of these theories to explain the therapist’s behavior and the client’s responses.
6. Consider which of these therapies would work best for you, either as a therapist or as a client.
7. ,Written Report:
• Organize your analysis into a well-structured, coherent written report minimum of 5 pages (can be longer, 12 point, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins) not including the title page/references. The structure doesn’t matter so as long as it makes sense.
• Use APA 7 style formatting for citations and references.
• Support your arguments with evidence from the films and relevant scholarly literature if needed.
