Product Description
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. The new "Theory in Practice: The Case of Stan" DVD is an extension of the text. "At a Glance" charts pinpoint the major differences between theories in areas such as multicultural focus, basic philosophies, and limitations.

Interesting book. Nice to know what the pscyhiatrists are doing and how they come to their conclusions.

Corey's Theory Practice of Counseling Psychotherapy October 23, 2008
This is an excellent book, and probably the best of its kind. It guides you through the various approaches to psychotherapy, giving you all the details necessary for you to comprehend each method fully as well as to compare the methods with one another. The comparison becomes even easier as Corey presents the case of "Stan" at the end of each chapter and demonstrates how each approach would deal with his dilemma. I think this book is interesting for anyone who likes psychology and psychotherapy, but is a must for people looking to go into the profession of psychotherapy in order to attain a broad perspective about techniques and approaches that may be employed according to one's personality and style, as well as each unique client's needs..

Helpful but lengthy and dry October 5, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book has so much great information but it is presented in such a way that it can be difficult to get into. The chapters could be much more concise. Also, as an art therapy student I would appreciate a picture or a graph or any kind of visual to go along with what I am reading...but there are none! The author writes well but the overall read and content of the book is dry.
