This comprehensive survey of the leading theories of psychotherapy looks at individual systems of therapy from the systems' theories of personality to their theories of psychopathology and culminating in their theories of the therapeutic process and relationship. The book compares theories and demonstrates how much psychotherapy systems agree on the processes producing change while disagreeing on the content that needs to be changed. The book's integrative framework highlights the many similarities of therapy systems without blurring their essential differences.

Systems of Psychotherapy covers, in a scholarly and balanced manner, a wide range of theories and methods -- which is what we sorely need. When using the third edition of this book in one of my graduate courses, the students gave me an A+ for assigning this wide ranging and stimulating book. "In the confusing multiplicity of psychotherapeutic orientations, there is nothing better, more revealing, or more entertaining than letting orientations point out their differences with each other. That is the strategy that Prochaska and Norcross perfect in the Fourth Edition of their Systems of Psychotherapy." "This is a well-written, thorough assessment of the most commonly used approaches to counseling and psychotherapy. The text presents the strengths and limitations of each theory with insight and candor ... and helps to demystify the topics in the theoretical chapters. This text is an essential resource for anyone who teaches courses in the areas of counseling and psychotherapy." "The best book on the market for the study of psychotherapy. A must for beginning through intermediate levels of psychotherapy training. . . . The minicase illustrations are very clarifying. Difficult concepts are described not only in understandable vocabulary patterns, but in a systematic way. Most texts are not systematically written because many authors don't think systematically. Prochaska and Norcross do."
