Question

Introduction on the Egan's model theory

Answer 1

Gerard Egan's Skilled Helper Model of eclectically based counseling provides a structured and solution-focused basis for counselors, psychotherapists, and hypnotherapists. It is a three-stage model in which each state consists of specific skills that the therapist uses to help the client move forwards.  The first stage, exploration, involves helping the client examine his or her thoughts and feelings. The second stage, insight, helps clients understand the reasons for these thoughts and feelings. The third stage, action, involves the client making changes.
