Tutorial 6: Compare and Contrast Behavioural Theory, Client-Centered Theory and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

This document compares and contrasts three theories of counseling: Behavioral Theory, Client-centered Theory, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Behavioral Theory, developed by Skinner and Pavlov, focuses on teaching clients new skills through stimulus-response learning to change behaviors. Client-centered Theory, developed by Carl Rogers, believes clients are experts in themselves and the counselor helps clients gain self-acceptance. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, developed by Albert Ellis, views the counselor as an expert who helps clients think more rationally in order to overcome psychological problems by changing beliefs and understanding consequences.
