Theoretical models of counseling and psychotherapy

the long version

"Theoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy represents a comprehensive overview of a variety of major counseling theories. Written for both student and practitioner, this text gives the reader an easily accessible venue through which to explore the deeper functions of each theory. Chapters blend current literature with primary source material and include illustrative case examples, which help the reader more readily apply theory to practice. This book is unique in its attention to the philosophical underpinnings of each theory, while it also includes theory-specific information on diagnosis, psychopharmacology, multicultural issues, spirituality, and gender issues. Focusing on the integration between theoretical models, this text provides a deeper and more complete understanding of counseling theory than is available in any other single volume."--BOOK JACKET.
