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 the Booknews A textbook for a counseling course for graduate or undergraduate students in psychology, counselor education, human services, and mental health. Corey (California State U.-Fullerton) surveys ten major concepts and practices of the contemporary therapeutic systems, and addresses some ethical and professional issues in counseling practice. His goal is to allow students to select wisely from the various theories and techniques to develop a personal style of counseling. The sixth edition updates the material and refines the discussions; no dates are noted for earlier ones. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

\ From the Publisher"I really think this text is perfect for my objectives and students. I use many of the exercises in the Student Manual and require my students to work with the Manual at home. At present, I require the students to use the CD-ROM for Integrative Counseling for home use, occasionally using it in the classroom. Hence, based on my examination of the manuscript and my great satisfaction with earlier editions, I would continue to use it as a main text. It really works for me."\ "The section I think is most important is the "Therapeutic Process," as it really demonstrates the process from the perspective of both the client and the therapist. Additionally, this aspect is unique to this text. And these sections answer students' questions about how this approach really looks and feels in the therapy room. The multicultural perspective is particularly relevant for the diverse population that Florida International University trains, as diversity issues will surely arise for future counselors working with populations we have in our area."\ "…responsibly integrates theory with a myriad of counseling skills, giving students better insight into what it means to be a counselor. The manuscript has nicely incorporated discussion points and possible techniques that can be adopted into various training models ensuring that counselors-in-training are becoming multiculturally competent. It has also provided students and faculty with a truer understanding of these issues as they relate to social justice."\ "The biographical information that Dr. Corey provides for each theorist helps me, as a student, glean information about the character of the person writing the theory, and why certain aspects of a theory are important. In many of the chapters, the application of the theory in the case of Stan allows the student to get an idea of how the abstract parts of the theory can be played out in a real-life scenario. I also really like the multicultural perspective as it gives so much insight on how the theory will and will not work with clients that hold different cultural views than I do."\ \ \ \ \ \ BooknewsA textbook for a counseling course for graduate or undergraduate students in psychology, counselor education, human services, and mental health.
