Counseling and Psychotherapy

This foundational text offers dynamic and fresh perspectives on theories across the helping professions to help guide client case conceptualization and therapeutic transformation. A diverse group of topical experts providees contemporary insight on the following theories: relational-cultural, psychodynamic, Jungian, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, cognitive behavioral, third-wave cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, reality therapy/choice, family, feminist, constructivist, and emotion-focused theories, as well as creative approaches to counseling used in a variety of theoretical models. <br /><br />Each theory is discussed in terms of historical backtround; human nature and development; major constructs; applications, including goals, the process of change, traditional and brief interventions, and serious mental health issues, supporting research and limitations; and the case of Clarita. The use of a consistent case study across chapters reinforces the differences between theories and demonstrates how each theory influences the counseling and treatment plan. A complimentary test manual and PowerPoints for instructor use are available by request. <br /><br /> <div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow: visible; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <p>* Requests for digital versions from ACA can be found on <a style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;" href="https://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-822910.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.wiley.com</a> </p> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow: visible; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <p>* To purchase print copies, please visit the ACA website <a style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;" href="https://imis.counseling.org/store/detail.aspx?id=78187" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a> </p> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow: visible; cursor: text; clear: both; position: relative; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <p>* Reproduction requests for material from books published by the ACA should be directed to <a style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;" href="mailto:permissions@counseling.org" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">permissions@counseling.org</a> </p> </div>
