Synthesis
There is no singular definition of the existential-humanistic approach, but this approach does incorporate values, beliefs and practices from both existential and humanistic traditions. Write a 300 word (approximately 1 page, excluding references) succinct synthesis that captures some of the main themes of the existential-humanistic approach. You may illustrate these themes with brief reference to specific approaches (e.g. Gestalt, person-centred counselling, logotherapy etc.).
Your synthesis may have 5 references maximum. Please write in APA format and style, i.e. double-spaced and 12pt font. References must be APA format. The synthesis must be written as if it were an abstract, i.e., no introduction, history or paragraphs needed. Please do not use any direct quotes as the main task is to paraphrase. The goal is to write as succinctly as possible. Do not exceed but maintain the word count as this is part of the assessment criteria.
Please bear in mind that a synthesis requires you to pull together information from a number of sources whilst simultaneously highlighting the key points in order to reflect your knowledge of the subject matter. That means it is a well-planned reading technique wherein you are perusing a range of information from a wide number of sources, some of which you will select, combine and arrange to create your synthesis and reference accordingly. You need to select your words carefully so that they capture key points as concisely as possible.
