Description and Table of Contents
Description
A revision of the classic 1963 Systems of Psychotherapy, this comprehensive text examines the theory and methodology behind the major schools of psychotherapy using a comparative framework. More than 400 different approaches to psychotherapy have been identified; however, most can be categorized into several major therapy "families." This book recaps the development of each major family's ideology and analyzes some of the leading approaches within each. The authors then introduce models to compare and contrast the theories and methods of each therapy family and demonstrate the evolution of psychotherapy practice.
