¶ … Stuntzner's (2014) study on the concept of "self-compasision" as a component in rehabilitation counseling and the study by Hartley, Johnston and Tarvydas (2015), which focuses on the use of social media advocacy in rehabilitation counseling both examine ways that rehabilitation counseling can be improved through the implementation of different variables. This paper will critique and compare the two studies and show how their findings can be used to help rehabilitation counselors better their own profession in the field.
Stuntzner's (2014) article is based on a literature review of the concept of "self-compassion" as a construct so as to determine how this idea might be applied to rehabilitation counseling to help reduce "negative thoughts, feelings, and outcomes while also promoting positive ones" (p. 37). Stuntzner's findings indicate that self-compassion is a concept that can be more clearly defined and utilized by counselors to assist in the healing of persons with disabilities.

Their study provides another literature review of relevant studies on social media...

These studies are similar in that both conduct literature reviews of relevant data as the basis of their studies. The studies thus present Level V types of evidence, which are helpful in giving researchers a fuller understanding of the issues at hand. In this case, both articles focus on how rehabilitation counseling can be improved through the utilization of either a concept or a tool. The concept that is found to be an effective idea is that of self-compassion -- the promotion of the patient's feeling of well-being for oneself -- enables rehabilitation counselors to guide patients in their thinking towards more positive feelings which can have positive impacts on the body, the restoration of health, and…

Social media technology has fundamentally altered the ways people interact with each other, and the ways people think about themselves. Some of the changes have been positive and healthy, such as the creation of new social networks that bring like-minded people together.
