Financial counseling Paper

The purpose of this individual assignment is to encourage you to explore and begin developing your own approach to financial counseling. You will consider your assumptions about the nature of individuals and how they change behavior. To begin this process, an article presenting an overview of the major traditional and contemporary theories of the helping relationship is provided (see in Week 9 Module: Theories in Counseling). Addressing the following questions will assist you in developing your personal theory. Integrate the answers into your paper, where possible.

-What is your view of human nature?

-What are some of your specific concerns or fears regarding your work as a beginning financial counselor?

-Personal Strength and weakness you may bring to the financial counseling process.

-Basic assumptions and explanations about how a change in behavior can come about?

-How do you typically deal with your crisis situation? With your own personal problems?

-How would your approach or theory assist in your anticipated work setting?

With those points in mind, write a 4-6 pages paper (Times New Roman, 12pt, Double Space) that articulates your approach for helping others. Throughout your paper, indicate how your views on helping are similar to and different than the theories presented in the reading and in references you find to support your paper. Include a list of references you use.
