Used in top counseling, psychology, and social work programs, CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES is the ideal resource to not only help you excel in the course, but also to learn, compare, and apply the major systems of psychotherapy in a way that will be meaningful in your own practice. Each contributor is either an originator or a leading proponent of one of the systems, and each presents the basic principles of the system in a clear and straightforward manner, discussing it in the context of the other systems. Theory chapters include a case example that guides you through the problem, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up process. Accompanying CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES is CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, each case demonstrates the basic techniques and methods of the theory being illustrated. This edition retains classic case studies by Harold Mosak, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Arnold Lazarus, and Peggy Papp.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"I use CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES because I believe that for a course of this type it is important for students to read about the theories in the words of their founders. Current Psychotherapies allows me to come close to that ideal without requiring students to purchase a dozen or more original sources."
Key strengths: "Reputation as this is 'the standard', thorough and astute, and not trendy."
"…the straightforward language used in the textbook makes it highly accessible to both my undergraduate and graduate students and serves as an excellent introduction to students interested or just beginning training in psychotherapy."
"I like this text, and have used it for several years, because the authors allow noted practitioners to explain their own method in their own words. In that sense the content of this book is 'primary' not 'secondary' material." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author
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.
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. Danny is the Editor for PSYCCRITIQUES: CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY-- APA REVIEW OF BOOKS, and he currently serves on the APA Council of Representatives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative,
By Brandon "unraveling the mystery" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Current Psychotherapies (Paperback)
This book gives brief but thorough explanations of the various theories used in clinical practice. This book is dull, at times, but highly useful. A great addition to any knowledge base.

The psychotherapy book,
By Katherine (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Current Psychotherapies (Paperback)
I used this book as a student in my psychotherapy course. I never knew there were so many psychotherapeutic approaches. I was amazed. I enjoyed exploring all these schools analyzed so beautifully in this book. I finally got the chance to see what school of psychotherapy was closer to my needs. I recommend it to all those who have a blurry idea of psychotherapy, like I did.

Excellent introduction to the many psychotherapies,
By Law Enforcement (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Current Psychotherapies (with InfoTrac ) (Paperback)
This book provides excellent introductions to a variety of psychotherapies, indeed the most popular methods today. There are over 400 different therapies, and as such this book can not cover them all. However, the book does provide adequate detail for an indepth overview of the therapies, and comes highly recommended to beginning students and graduate students alike.
