Counseling and Psychotherapy: Theories and Interventions (2nd Edition)

In this edition (first, 1995), 22 contributors provide conceptual frameworks for beginning counseling and psychotherapy students to understand the parameters (including legal and ethical ones) of the helping relationship. In a novel approach, chapters treat a hypothetical female client as the case study focus for the foundations and applications of major theories (psychoanalytic, Jungian, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, reality, brief, Eastern, family, and feminist). Inclusion of the latter three models are new to this edition, as is a chapter on working with children. The concluding chapter takes an integrative perspective.
