Synopsis

A ideal student text and clinical reference, Essential Psychotherapies provides systematic and extensive expositions of the 12 most important forms of psychotherapy being practiced today. Eminent authorities present influential treatments that have been developed relatively recently, such as the brief, cognitive, family, relational, and integrative psychotherapies, as well as more traditional treatments, such as psychoanalytic, existential humanistic, and person-centered psychotherapies; Gestalt, group, and behavior therapy; and Transactional Analysis. Chapters follow a common set of guidelines to facilitate easy comparison of the origins, current status, and assessment and intervention methods of each approach, along with its foundational concepts of personality and psychopathology. Detailed case material is included throughout.
