papers will be uploaded directly into the platform and submitted for faculty review. In the paper,
you should provide your own analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the theory, howwell it
integrates into your personal and professional identity as a counselor, and whether or not you
think it is a theory that resonates with you for future clinical practice. You can also provide a
brief review of the theory as part of your reaction/analysis. This review can include information
such as
• Nature of the person, including innate capacities or capabilities, andmotivational
constructs according to the theory (if applicable).

mental illness) according to the theory.
