This is for a discussion post. No set number of pages are required. It does not need to be long (about one page or less) but it needs to be very well written, scholarly, in a discussion tone, using APA.
It will involve reading material (see additional doc) and watching a two-hour video. I have included extra time for this.
A response to two of the other discussion posts will be required but I will send that as a separate assignment later.
You will need Vital Source Bookshelf App to read the ebook.

Discussion: Existential or Gestalt Counseling: Case Conceptualization
For this Discussion, you will write a case conceptualization as though you were an existential or Gestalt counselor. Be sure to incorporate the feedback from your Instructor on your previous conceptualizations into this week’s.
As you review this week’s Learning Resources and media file, note techniques and interventions, and consider the role of an existential or Gestalt counselor in planning treatment. Further, reflect on existential and Gestalt therapy with respect to developing your own theoretical orientation. In what ways do you find that these approaches may resonate with your own point of view?
Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the Post to Discussion Question link, and then select Create Thread to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts—and cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit!
To Prepare:
Review this week’s required readings about existential and Gestalt theories.
Review the existential-humanistic psychotherapy video from this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of language and techniques used by the counselor that are specific to this theory.
Review the Psychoanalytic Case Conceptualization Example found in this week’s Learning Resources and use this document to prepare your initial Discussion post.
Select one of the four case studies presented in this week’s Learning Resources, and answer the following points as if you were an existential OR Gestalt counselor. Use your Learning Resources and the notes you took on language and technique from the existential-humanistic psychotherapy video to support your conceptualization, and integrate examples from the case to support your post. Include the following:
oPresenting Problem
oTreatment Goals
oIdentify your chosen theory (i.e., existential or Gestalt) and explain at least two techniques and interventions from that theory.
oExpected Outcome
By Day 3
Post your existential OR Gestalt conceptualization.
Be sure to support your main post with specific references to the Learning Resources using proper APA format and citations. Your response posts may be more conversational and less formal.
