Abstract: Developmental Counseling and Therapy (DCT). an integrative model for assessing client cognitive style and selecting interventions, has been presented as a meta-theory for increasing intentionality in mental health treatment planning.. To examine the usefulness of DCT for training and practice, student and professional counselors (N = 203) completed the Preferred Helping Styles Inventory. the Theoretical Orientation Profile Scale-Revised. and the Intervention Strategies Questionnaire. Intervention styles were related to both cognitive styles and theoretical orientations: intervention style use was predicted by cognitive style and intervention sale interests, Implications for mental health counselor training and practice are discussed.
