Book Description

Publication Date: February 24, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0195165799 | ISBN-13: 978-0195165791 | Edition: 2

The 13 years between the publication of the original edition of the handbook and this second edition have been marked by memorable growth in psychotherapy integration. The original classic was the first compilation of the early integrative approaches and was hailed by one reviewer as "the bible of the integration movement." In the interim, psychotherapy integration has grown into a mature, empirically supported, and international movement. This second edition provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive description of psychotherapy and its clinical practices by leading proponents. In addition to updates of all of the chapters, the new edition features: (1) eight new chapters covering topics such as cognitive-analytic therapy, integrative psychotherapy with culturally diverse clients, cognitive-behavioral analysis system, and blending spirituality with psychotherapy, (2) an entirely new section with two chapters on assimilative integration, (3) updated reviews of the empirical research on integrative and eclectic treatments, (4) chapter guidelines that facilitate comparative analyses and ensure comprehensiveness, and (5) a summary outline to help readers compare the integrative approaches. Blending the best of clinical expertise, empirical research, and theoretical pluralism, the revision of this "integration bible" will prove invaluable to practitioners, researchers, and students alike.

This is the kind of text that people will likely want to hold onto and include in their personal library. This book is a good one to pick up for anyone who is either in training to become or is a therapist looking to continue their education in the area. The area of psychology seems to be moving in the direction of integration and this text help to provide an understanding of what exactly this is and how to achieve this with almost any area.

I did indeed glean a lot of information which I required for teaching my students as I did not have any other text to use. It provided me with what I needed to know about Integrative Psychology which is the way the world is going now. Good condition and on time.

This is an excellent book about the integration of various styles and forms of therapy. Good examples of how others have done it. Discussed the controversy with it as well.
