3 main Pros and Cons of Egan’s 3 stage approach
Positive Pro’s to Egan’s Approach.
This model has fluidity, allowing the client to move freely in and out of the 3 stages as
required. There is nothing to restrict individuals from moving back to the 1st
stage, if they have already progressed onto the two or even three. It has adaptability
in its Questioning process, as in all clients are not compelled/required to answer all of
the 3 main Questions:
1. What is going on?
2. What do I do instead?
3. How might I get what I want?
I think any of the counselling theories may be applied whilst implementing this technique
and may be practised in a range of different helping relationships, but the model

Negative Cons to Egan’s Approach.
However, having praised the use of the SMART Goals in the positive section, if one of the Goals collapses
during Stage three, the process weakens and may fold in on itself, taking the client backwards and
having to reformulate the goals again. If the Goals then become un realistic or un achievable, they need
to be re assessed and re developed, hindering the progress and finality of the model for the client.
Another negative, is that the model as a whole, is not very adaptive to the individual. It describes itself
as ‘Using the model for the person’ Thus not allowing adaptability and creativity in using the ‘Person
against the Model.’ Individual preferences, experiences and issues may adapt better if applies to the
helper in a more individualistic sense of frame. To me the description of itself sounds too rigid and
formalised. I think in order for the client to achieve their and the Models full potentional, the model
needs to be more adaptive to the client’s person and status.
The third negative that I found, was that it works best on issues that are in the recent past or present
day. Thus entailing that it will be of no use to deep seated past issues, like phobias, trauma or abuse. To
me this signals that it is a short term method, only to be applied to recent, mild issues, looking for a
‘Quick, short term, Fix’. Not to be used for long term, well rooted or
The first stage is being patient; take the time to listen to the client to build rapport and trust. From listening to the client you can understand what the issues are and how much insight and maturity they have, their support system, and any other information to develop a client/case manager relationship. In the second stage we assist the client in identifying their goals and develop hope that their problems can be solved. The third stage is when the case manager discusses with the client what they are willing to do to meet their goals and help them choose strategies to meet them.

The aim of the final step of stage two is for the helper to evaluate the commitment level displayed by the client to achieving their goal. The helper
Agreeing goals. This should be again the decision of the service user and what they want to see as their goals. If it is the service user that is making the goals they will make an effort to achieve them. If they feel they are working towards goals that they do not understand or don't even want, then they won't make an effort to achieve them or work towards them.

This approach allows for a close relationship, which will foster trust, and will ensure that there is mutual understanding of the problem, and the best interventions in order to solve the problem (Henonin, 2010). This approach allows for the client to practice self-autonomy, by giving the client power over what interventions they believe will comprehensively solve the problem that is evident in their life (Henonin, 2010). Furthermore, the client and the social worker may have different understandings of the problem or circumstances that are taking place. Therefore, the first steps of the problem solving approach are crucial in fostering mutual understanding, in order to ensure that both the social worker and the client are on the same page before a proper intervention can be formulated (Henonin, 2010). Additionally, it is incredibly important that throughout the intervention, the social worker garners feedback, and performs “check-ups” with the client in order to ensure that the intervention is having a positive impact (Henonin, 2010). Performing routine check ups, ensures that interventions are working properly, and the client’s voice remains heard. Furthermore, routine check ups ensure that the social worker completely understands the problem at hand, and can be privy to any new information regarding the circumstances of the

In the short term it can result in low confidence, frustration, anger, difficulty in making friends and difficulty in processing new information and low academic achievement.
As a student of Walden University, goals established in week one were a starting point to get the ball rolling on potential goals that are achievable. The purpose of reevaluating goals is to ensure they are reasonable with the current situation and on track with future dreams. However, understanding the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT) in an attempt to accomplish a goal.

8. In reengineering, what is the primary purpose of working backward from desired outcomes to establish new processes?
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham will be the first ones to openly admit there are active limitations with the goal setting theory. It is not uncommon for individual goals to conflict with organizational goals. Moreover, research has proven complex goals have sparked motivation in teams to implement strategies with substantially high amounts of risk (Knight, Durham, & Locke, 2001). Sometimes people will believe higher risk strategies produce the greatest returns, yet high-risk goals consistently result in failure as well (Knight et. al, 2001). Additionally, when individuals simultaneously create two goals there is a greater chance they exert too much energy and focus on achieving just one of those goals. This can lead to one of the goals not receiving enough attention, which can potentially result in the person failing to reach the end result in either goal. In short, these are three common limitations of goal setting that typically draw concerns from other researchers and theorists. However, it is important people are aware of the limitations that do not receive as much attention, such as team goal setting, unethical behavior in high performance goals, and subconscious goals.
This would cause anxiety and result in the withdrawal from certain experiences/ activities to maintain the ontology.
