Synopsis

Used in top counseling, psychology, and social work programs, "Current Psychotherapies" is the ideal resource to not only help you excel in the course, but also to learn, compare, and apply the major systems of psychotherapy in a way that will be meaningful in your own practice. Each contributor is either an originator or a leading proponent of one of the systems, and each presents the basic principles of the system in a clear and straightforward manner, discussing it in the context of the other systems. Theory chapters include a case example that guides you through the problem, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up process. Accompanying "Current Psychotherapies" is "Case Studies In Psychotherapy", each case demonstrates the basic techniques and methods of the theory being illustrated. This edition retains classic case studies by Harold Mosak, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Arnold Lazarus, and Peggy Papp.

About this title

Review:

"?the straightforward language used in the textbook makes it highly accessible to both my undergraduate and graduate students and serves as an excellent introduction to students interested or just beginning training in psychotherapy." Key strengths: "Reputation as this is ?the standard?, thorough and astute, and not trendy." "I use CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES because I believe that for a course of this type it is important for students to read about the theories in the words of their founders. Current Psychotherapies allows me to come close to that ideal without requiring students to purchase a dozen or more original sources."

"I like this text, and have used it for several years, because the authors allow noted practitioners to explain their own method in their own words. In that sense the content of this book is 'primary' not 'secondary' material."
