Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy

Develop your own counseling style using Corey's bestselling THEORY AND PRACTICE OF COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY. You will see the major theories of counseling (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, feminist and, and postmodern approaches) as they are used in practice through a case study focused on one client, Stan. The case of Stan appears in each chapter so you can see how the theory presented in that chapter informs therapeutic decision-making. At a Glance charts pinpoint the major differences between theories in areas such as multicultural focus, basic philosophies, and limitations.
