Eclecticism in Counseling

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that eclecticism in counseling refers to the individual ability to consider all theoretical approaches to an issue and determine the best course of action. The paper also explains that eclecticism does not rely on one set of standardized practices in relation to education but rather an inclusion of all approaches and theories as sources of consideration. Moreover, the paper points out that eclecticism does not suggest that issues should be handled in a haphazard manner; it merely condones the acceptance of a wide variety of theories in order to achieve the most effective results. In spite of this, the paper notes that the concept of eclecticism is believed by some educators to lack structure and order that is important to the success of the educational environment.
