Eclectic Again

2.2 If you had to choose one of the theories within the "doing" or "being" groups, which theory do you relate to the most? Why?

Here we go again and just like before I�m an eclectic individual. However for the most part I wonder if I don�t actually sway heavier as a caring theorist because I do attempt to treat everyone as if they were family or friends. I try to treat people with the same respect as I would my own people. I believe that a therapist can not truly help their client without establishing a personal one on one relationship which means allowing the client to get to know you beyond the office at least a little bit. (It was a counselor such as this that helped me realize that my goals weren�t out of reach).

But of course other theories break in as well� such as�

Consequentialists: good/harm (now & later) for all involved. Meaning, I feel I have to concider what decisions I make today and how they will affect those people tomorrow.

Rights Theorists: Everyone deserves integrity, privacy, equality, treatment, & etc. Which means I believe people deserve to be equal. Sometimes that means moving or rescheduling and being lenient or accommodating.

A Duty Theorist: Doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. (Going against the grain) This to me means standing up against those in power despite what may happen. It could mean losing one day losing my job to defend a clients position
