Nine theories of counselling are presented in this volume, which aims to help students develop a personalized style of counselling that incorporates the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience. The nine theories are discussed and then the author demonstrates how each theory can be applied to a single case. There are chapters on psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior therapies, and family systems therapy. Ethical issues in counselling practice, including dual relationships, the role of codes of ethics, and guidelines for making ethical decisions, are also included. A common format in theory chapters and summary tables and other integrating materials in a synthesis chapter, is used to help students compare and contrast the nine approaches.

Inaccurate Image
The picture has changed since I purchased this book...and it's still not the correct one. The original image was for the eighth edition...and I received the fourth edition. Now the image is for the fifth edition. Better get that fixed.

Excellent Summary
This book is an excellent summary from the author's bird-eyes view about the theories and the possible difficulties in the practice of counseling. Ther are no prescription, no absolute truths, and no ready solutions, but it encourages you to think, and use all of your assets what you already have, as well as encourages you to develop your own personality in order to help develop clients.

Older book
I was surprised when the book arrived. It was in almost new conditions with no markings or damage on the inside. Considering that this is an older text book, I was surprised. There were no problems with the delivery and the book arrived sooner than expected. I would order from this dealer again.

text book
The text book was in good quality. A lot cheaper than going to the campus book store. When you are paying for college every little cent that is saved is a blessing.
