This document provides guidelines for a theory application paper assignment. Students must analyze a case scenario from one of several provided movies by applying four different counseling theories - one from each of four groups. For each theory, students must discuss its main assumptions, how well it explains the case scenario, its strengths and challenges, how it would be applied to the case and treatment goals/objectives. The paper must be in APA format and include outside scholarly sources to support the analysis for each theory. It requires integration of counseling concepts even though students may not have taken a treatment planning course yet. The paper aims to demonstrate a student's ability to apply different counseling theories to a single case.
