Counseling Processes and Procedures

  • First Online:

Abstract

In this chapter, contextual action theory (CAT) is identified as an integrative rather than differentiated perspective for counseling practice. This integration of CAT with other counseling approaches and procedures is elaborated through the examination of 29 aspects of optimal functioning. These aspects represent the combination of levels (goals, steps, and elements) and systems (action, project, and career) of goal-directed action. Specific counseling approaches, questions and procedures are identified for each of these aspects. The discussion of counseling processes and procedures is illustrated by two case studies.
