10 GC APPROACHES
STUDENT
TEACHER
STRATEGY
ULTIMATE LEARNING FROM STUDENT
1. Adlerian Therapy
Teacher lily I wanna go home now. My seatmates are pushing me away, they dont want me here.
Oh Charlie im sorry I cannot let you go home. Ill helpo you get in with them common.
The “as if” method. Let pupils present a role play of their own script about meeting new friend.





feeling of community.
2.  Existential Therapy
Teacher I am singing my favorie rhyme and my seatmates are getting mad of me. Why ? Im just singing..
You are getting to annoy youre seatmates because of your loud voice. They are being disturbed from doing their activity.
“paradoxical intention” teacher will ask Sam to sing his song every now and then and dont stop unless told to.
Value of meaning and existence.
3.  Person-Centered Therapy
Teacher, I want to play with the blocks rather work with them in the activity,

im shy of them teacher,, they all look good except me,,



4. Psychoanalytic  Therapy
Teacher Lily my seatmates are all copying my work were all having the same ideas I dont want to continue anymore.
Im pretty sure you can think of your own original version that is unque and different from the rest.
The”projection”) to blame others just to escape from responsibility especially in classroom activities.  



Is there any problem with tou joining them in the circle?

Okay come here I have prepared a special group and a special activity for you,, im sure you will enjoy this..







5.  Gestalt Therapy
Teacher, I cant make a beautiful artworrk. I dont know how and I cannot color nicely. I dont think I can make it like them.
We all have our God given capabilities of doing things. Just like your classmates they also started from nothing.. but look at them now they can make one already. Common I know you can also do the same.
The “confrontation” What is happening within you that makes you feel that you canno make beautiful artwork?
Completeness, high self esteem, self responsibility and self independence,
6. Transactional Analysis
Teacher, please help me.  I can’t open my lunchbox.
You can do that.  Look, you and Rey have the same lunchbox.  Observe how he will open his.
The teacher   set his another pupil as example to the child who is telling that he is not able to open the lunchbox.
The pupil will learn how to achieve autonomy and become responsible for their own actions.
7. Behaviorism Therapy
Teacher, Jon kicked the tower of blocks I made. 
Jon, pick up those blocks and build it again. I won’t check your own work until you finished assembling those tower.
The teacher uses punishment to change the behavior of the Jon.  By giving consequences for his behavior.
The child will avoid doing negative things to avoid future consequences.
8. Interpersonal Therapy
Teacher, I always cry because my Grandpa died.  He was my favorite friend.

Yes, I always feel lonely.

I think he will feel sad because when he was alive, he always wants me happy.
Did the situation change you?
All of us will die, only in different time. 

Do you think your Grandpa will be happy if he will be seeing you always crying?

Then, try to be happy though he’s gone.
The teacher asks what caused the child to behave in that way.

The teacher helps the child to divert his feelings into a positive one.

The teacher may use storytelling for cases like this.



The child will be able to cope with the problems of life by addressing the issue and from that, making an alternative solution for that.
9. Reality Therapy


Teacher, I don’t want Oscar to be included in our group play.

 Transfer him to another group or I’ll transfer anyway.  He bullied me before when we used to become neighbor before.  Thanks, they transferred their house.

I don’t think so.

Yes he did.



I have grouped you already and have chosen the specific roles for you.

What do you want to happen?

Do you think it will resolve the problem?

 I’ve heard that he is asking for forgiveness. 

Why don’t you forgive him anyway.  You will be needing each other for this activity. 
Give him a chance anyway.
You will be staying together in this classroom for ten months. You can be friends now.


The teacher let the child explain his own story and ask for his point of view.

The teacher let not the child to think of the past instead faced the reality that he must forgive and that they are classmates.
The child will understand the fact that there will be a time he or she will be in a group and need each others company.
