Editorial Reviews

Review
"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."

Product Description
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 therapeutic decision-making. "At a Glance" charts pinpoint the major differences between theories in areas such as multicultural focus, basic philosophies, and limitations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook for counseling students, February 15, 2009
The "Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy" textbook provides the student a complete set of information about different counseling theories, their psychologists, and a broad, and at the same time detailed explanation on how to apply them. Easy to read and understand psychology textbook about the different theories and practices in counseling. In addition it displays a combination of theories of personality and theories of counseling methods to use for training and preparation of future counselors. I recommend this book not only to students but to instructors to use when teaching these courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average text book, February 1, 2009
By R. Weaver "R. Weaver" (Anchorage, Alaska) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Corey had the brilliant idea of writing a text book in first person. I'm not sure why more authors don't do it. This book is easy to read, not boring at all if you are interested in the subject. The information is organized well. Even though it is formatted more like a normal chapter book than a text book, it is still easy to scan for and find information because there are lots of subheadings and the sections are fairly short. Corey also knows what he is talking about and I enjoy his insights. I actually read this text book instead of only using it as a reference like I usually do. This book is actually worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Text for Counseling Students, December 19, 2008
I was assigned this text for my Theories of Counseling class my first semester in graduate school. Corey does a great job of breaking down 14 different therapeutic theories into their most basic principles. This is a great book for anyone interested in learning about becoming a therapist or for that journeyman therapist who needs a quick refresher.
