, Chapter 1 THEORY IS A GOOD THING

Chapter Review Quiz
Learning Objective 1.1 Discuss the role of theory in counseling and psychotherapy and explain some
qualities of good theory.
[Q1]
How should a theory be applied in counseling?
a. In a critical way, with the recognition that other approaches exist.
b. Sparingly, just enough to provide an outline so that therapist remains flexible.
c. With precision and strict adherence so that the therapist doesn’t make a mistake.
d. In conjunction with other theories so that a therapist has range and choices.
[Q1 Feedback to Answer Choice 1] [Correct]
Theory should be applied in a critical way, with the recognition that other approaches exist (and are valid
also) because theories contain biases that can be dangerous to clients. So, a theory should be well
researched and validated for use with clients.
[Q1 Feedback to Answer Choice 2]
Counselors who do not use theory to guide them are less effective and can even be harmful. Theories
have tenets that have been explored and validated as being useful with clients.
[Q1 Feedback to Answer Choice 3]
Counselors cannot use a “one size fits all” approach so strict adherence to one theory would not be
suitable for all clients. Theories must also be adapted to fit the needs of diverse clients.
[Q1 Feedback to Answer Choice 4]
Some counselors do use multiple theories together. This is called eclecticism. The use of multiple theories
should be used with a clear idea about why these techniques help a counselor toward their theoretically
defined goals.
Learning Objective 1.2 Describe some general approaches to outcome research in psychotherapy.

[Q2]
What is the dominant training model of mental health professionals today?
a. The community counseling model
b. The psychotherapy integration model
c. The scientist–practitioner model
d. The cultural competence model
[Q2 Feedback to Answer Choice 1]
There is no such thing as the community counseling model. There is a training model called the
community psychology model though, but it is not considered the foremost used training model for mental
health practitioners.
[Q2 Feedback to Answer Choice 2]
While there is a psychotherapy integration model for training mental health professional, it is not
considered the foremost used training model for mental health practitioners.

, [Q2 Feedback to Answer Choice 3] [Correct]
For a very long time, the ideals and products of science have been an important part of the enterprise of
counseling and psychotherapy. Sigmund Freud, arguably the first theoretical psychotherapist, considered
himself a scientist, and this tradition is alive today in the scientist–practitioner model. This model is
currently the most dominant training model for many mental health professionals.
[Q2 Feedback to Answer Choice 4]
While there is a cultural competence model for training mental health professional, it is not considered the
foremost used training model for mental health practitioners.
Learning Objective 1.3 Summarize the research on the outcome of psychotherapy and describe its
implications for practice.

[Q3]
Based on what we know about empirical research on treatment outcomes using theory, what is the Dodo
bird verdict?
a. Cognitive-based theories have been found as more effective as humanistic-based theories.
b. Empirically, no one theory is better than any other and all have therapeutic benefits.
c. People who love animals have been found to have better outcomes in therapy than those who do
not.
d. People who have higher IQs tend to have better therapeutic outcomes.
[Q3 Feedback to Answer Choice 1]
Cognitive-behavioral theories have not been found more effective than humanistic-based theories.
[Q3 Feedback to Answer Choice 2] [Correct]
Rosenzweig (1936/2002), when discussing the apparent equivalence of theoretical approaches in terms
of client outcomes in that no one theory has been found to be more effective than any other, captured the
state of psychotherapy outcome research by quoting the Dodo bird from Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland:
“Everybody has won and all must have prizes” (p. 5). This pronouncement has since been known as the
Dodo bird verdict.
[Q3 Feedback to Answer Choice 3]
While some researchers have explored the potential benefits of the human–animal bond on mental health
outcomes, particularly in the context of animal-assisted interventions, research is not conclusive.
[Q3 Feedback to Answer Choice 4]
While some researchers have explored whether intelligence make a difference in therapeutic outcomes,
nothing conclusive has been found.
Learning Objective 1.4 Describe the common factors approach to psychotherapy research and some of
the proposed common factors.

[Q4]
What is the most cited common factor believed to be responsible for positive therapeutic outcomes?
a. Empathy
b. The client and counselor sharing similar views of the world
c. Positive client expectations
d. The therapeutic alliance
