Review:

A New Model for Teaching and Conducting Counseling and Therapy.

Allen Ivey's groundbreaking Developmental Strategies for Helpers is the first book to give readers a step-by-step action plan for directly relating developmental theory to clinical and counseling practice. Highly practical, this book has been translated into Japanese and is well supported by empirical research.

Focusing on a new model of health rather than pathology, Ivey encourages readers to relate their own personal experiences to the reading. Drawing on life-span developmental theories such as Piaget, Erikson, Bowlby, and Derald Wing Sue, the author helps readers gain a developmental understanding of their own lives that they can use effective in client assessment and treatment. -- Publisher Comments
