The fifth edition of CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY maintains its parallel structure with the Eighth Edition of Corsini and Wedding's CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES. Cases are selected on the basis of intrinsic interest, clarity of presentation, and the extent to which each case demonstrates the basic techniques and methods of the theory being illustrated. This edition retains classic case studies by L. Bryce Boyer, Barbara Sullivan, Harold Mosak, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Irvin Yalom, Arnold Lazarus, and Peggy Papp.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, Fourth edition provides a series of 13 case write-ups by leading psychotherapists, including many originators of the approaches. Ideally the book should be read as a companion to CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES, Seventh Edition, but it is still useful on its own. Each case study enables the reader to get a good insight into how the therapist actually works. Readers can learn skills that they may then, when ready, use in their therapy practice."
"The cases in this casebook bring key concepts to life, making them readily accessible to the reader. The clinical material provides the opportunity for the reader to experience master clinicians firsthand via reading illustrative case summaries or verbatim transcripts of sessions, thus providing a window into the consulting room. In this way, the clinician's style comes alive, and abstract concepts are translated into vivid descriptions and dialogue."
"The volume's great merit is in bridging the gap between the theories of personality and their applications in therapy. This information is not often readily available, especially to students and young professionals. Moreover, eminent therapists explain their modi operandi in their own words."
"Strengths of this book include the rich content and vivid visualization of the counselor/client interaction from different theoretical perspectives. Case vignettes such as these help students see the actual process and content from session to session." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author
Danny Wedding was trained as a clinical psychologist at the University of Hawaii and the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He later completed two years working for the U.S. Congress, first in the Senate and later in the House of Representatives. Danny joined the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine in 1991 as Director of the Missouri Institute of Mental Health (MIMH), a university research and policy center serving the mental health community in Missouri. Danny's research interests include psychotherapy, international health, mental health policy, and the portrayal of mental illness and addictions in films. With the assistance of colleagues, he has written or edited ten books including CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES, CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, BEHAVIOR AND MEDICINE, THE NEUROPSYCHOLOGY HANDBOOK, SCREENING FOR BRAIN IMPAIRMENT, and MOVIES AND MENTAL ILLNESS.

Raymond Corsini's training was diverse. He received a BA and MA at the City College of New York, then did his doctoral training at Syracuse University, Cornell University, University of California, University of Wisconsin (all during the time of his work as a prison psychologist), and finally obtained a Ph.D. at age 41 from the University of Chicago under Carl Rogers. He met and interacted with J.L. Moreno, Fritz Perls, Victor Frankl, and Albert Ellis among others, but his main teacher was Rudolf Dreikurs, an Adlerian. He had three separate careers: as a prison psychologist for fifteen years, then an industrial psychologist for ten years, and finally in private practice of psychotherapy and counseling for thirty years. Usually in the summers he taught courses at over a dozen universities and full time at the University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology, and the University of California at Berkeley. He has published over 60 books under 43 titles, including four encyclopedias and the most complete dictionary of psychology, and has written or edited eighteen books in counseling or psychotherapy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Case Studies in Psychotherapy (Paperback)
This book offers clinical critiques of actual cases using a teaching format which defines each case presented with the type of therapy theory employed by the therapist. My personal favorite is chapter 8, "Fat Lady" by Irvin D. Yalom. It is existentialism at its brutally honest best, and shows clearly the human side of the therapist's countertransference and growth through that countertransference. I found this book to be quite an asset for understanding the practical differences between the various counseling theories. It greatly compliments and illustrates the theories in a very readable context.
