Four intervention categories: thoughts, actions, emotions, eclectic or integrative systems, how do we know i counseling is working, the child shows change---which is the ultimate goal of counseling. The child may think differently (cognition), feel different (affect) or act differently (behaviour) Corsini: nine factors of change in three categories. Cognitive factors: universalization, people get better when they understand that they are not alone, that other people have similar problems, and that suffering is universal. Insight: when people understand themselves and gain new perspectives, they improve, modeling, people profit from watching other people. Behavioral factors: reality testing, people can change when they can experiment with new behaviour and receive support and feedback, ventilation, having a place to express anger, fear, or sadness and still be accepted promotes change. Interaction: people improve when they can admit something is wrong.
