Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy

Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, the ninth edition of Corey’s highest-selling text offers a very simple-to-bear in mind text that helps you compare and contrast the therapeutic models expressed in counseling theories. Corey introduces you to the major theories (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, circle of relatives systems, feminist, and postmodern approaches) and demonstrates how each and every theory may also be applied to a single case (“Stan”). Together with his trademark style, he shows you the best way to apply the ones theories in practice, and helps you discover ways to integrate the theories into an individualized counseling style.
