Publisher's Synopsis
For introductory courses in Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy.
This is the ideal text for students who are just beginning their study of counseling and psychotherapy. From it they will secure a solid foundation in the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy-plus Eastern theories, feminist theories, body-centered, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Theory-from twenty-three authors who are experienced in the theory they discuss. Because each theory is presented using a standard format and bolstered by a running case study, students will also come away from this text with the cross-theory comparisons they need to decide on their own course of specialized study, and determine a personal perspective on counseling.
