Important suggestions from tutor :
You are using referencing, but would suggest you focus on counselling theorists , that are focusing on counselling and not any other profession.
The first word of each question will tell you how you need to answer the questions. And Each part, e.g. 1.1 and 1.2 is a specific focus so these 2 questions need complete depth, examples, and explanations between each part of the question, so it is an assignment within the main assignment.
As from 2.1 and all the 2 questions, this is expecting a full assignment based on this specific area and topic. And Psychoanalysis is no longer a recognised theory, it is now psychodynamic but you are not learning this theory on this training, so stay with TA, gestalt and Pc as theory answers.
