Systems of Psychotherapy: A Transtheoretical Analysis. 3rd edition.

This book provides a systematic, comprehensive and balanced survey of the leading theories of psychotherapy from an integrative perspective. Looking within an individual system of therapy, the book follows the integrative steps that flow from the systems theory of personality to its theory of psychopathology and culminates in its theory of the therapeutic process and relationship. The book also offers an integrative framework that highlights the many similarities of therapy systems without blurring their essential differences.
