Theory Briefing
- Chemeketa's BH 256 course covers major counseling theories from psychoanalytic to Gestalt, mapping the full spectrum of human psychological thought.
- Competing frameworks like behaviorism and existentialism offer radically different answers to why people suffer and how they heal.
- Studying these theories together reveals how foundational assumptions — about identity, free will, and behavior — shape every therapeutic relationship.
