Synopsis

Students enrich their personal therapeutic style as Corey demonstrates -- using the case of Ruth -- how concepts and techniques from a variety of theoretical perspectives can be successfully incorporated into different phases of the counseling process. In Becoming the Client sections, students are invited to put themselves in the shoes of the client while Dr. Corey applies the topics of each chapter to them. This edition also includes new material in every chapter, as well as key findings from recent research.

Review:

"I very much like the inclusion of a section in each chapter that addresses the reader as a counseling client. This, as usual, is one of the real strengths of a Corey text-the ability to actively engage the reader so that the material is personalized."

"Corey shares his thoughts, his perspectives, his inferences and reasons behind them. Students who are mystified and overwhelmed by the plethora of theories to which they are exposed can find solace and clarity in Corey's exposition."

"This text brings about an awareness of issues that the beginning therapist may not have considered important, but are vital, such as diversity, a client educational component, and spirituality."
