This revision of Gerald Corey's best-selling text covers 10 contemporary theories (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, and, NEW to this edition, feminist) and demonstrates how each theory can be applied to a single case (Stan). Corey's Sixth Edition covers the major concepts of counseling theories, shows students how to apply those theories in practice, and helps them learn to integrate the theories into an individualized counseling style. Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, Corey offers an easy-to-understand text that helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models. This book is the center of a suite of products that include a revised student manual, a revised casebook, a new companion text, and an all-new student video and workbook.

Review:

"The book is well-organized and written in a style that is easy to read and integrate. Pains were taken to make sure that material is current and reflects movement within each of the approaches. Students react favorably to the text (past edition) since they find the material easier to understand and grasp (for later recall!) than some of their texts."

"Corey's book provides a consistent format for describing and critiquing the major counseling theories. The consistent structure allows students to compare and contrast theories more easily."

"I applaud your attempts to work multicultural issues into each of the chapters...Multicultural issues appear to provide greater relevance when dealt within the context of a specific theory, or better yet, specific culture."
