Beschreibung
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.
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.

"The 7th edition of this text is unique in that it contains chapters on all major counseling theories written by counseling scholars and practitioners who specialize in the theoretical perspectives they summarize and explore. Drs. Capuzzi, Stauffer, and the contributing authors provide numerous interventions appropriate for each theory to help students and practitioners understand how to apply the theories they are learning about in their work with clients."

"This new edition offers an expanded approach to applying traditional and contemporary counseling theories to a broader spectrum of issues and provides students and clinicians with guidance for informed and intentional practice. Additionally, the focus on multicultural identities, intersectionality, and social justice brings each theory into the present and enhances its relevance for use with clients."
