Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Systems, Strategies, and Skills: United States Edition

A must have book !!! Love the applicability, example, exercises, etc... I learn so much about how everything started in psychology, and how it has evolved. Also includes many techniques to help people with mental health issues!

Great deal

This book is very helpful and the activities are very useful. Enjoyed the book and learned a tremendous amount about counseling theories.

This is the book I used MOST during my counseling Masters degree! A valuable reference and well-organized. I will keep it on my shelf.

This book captures both the best and worse of the college textbook market. It is extremely informative, providing a thorough overview of each major school of counseling and psychotherapy. It is also faithful to provide a balanced look at each system's weaknesses and strengths, and the structure of the text is consistent throughout, enabling the reader to quickly reference and summarize the information contained in each chapter.That being said, the book is as dry as dirt; there are few images, few meaningful text interactions (questions or otherwise), and a technical writing style that makes minimal effort at engaging the reader. Most students will struggle to read more than a few pages at a time. The book functions much better as an occasional reference text rather than a book to be read through by a class or interested student.
