Theories of Counseling And Psychotherapy: A Multicultural Perspective

The only theory text to provide truly integrated discussion of multicultural competencies and clients, this current and practical resource has been revised and reorganized to make it more user friendly.  

 

In response to requests from many reviewers, the Sixth Edition of Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Multicultural Perspective has broken out more of the theoretical approaches into their own dedicated chapters, including new, highly-praised chapters on Positive Psychology and Feminist Counseling and Therapy.   The text continues to be the most detailed and specific of all texts in terms of helping students actually practice counseling and therapy. The Competency Building features provide readers with specifics of how to use major strategies, allowing practical demonstration that they can actually engage in the theory as well as understand it.

What colleagues are saying about the thoroughly revised and reorganized Sixth Edition of Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Multicultural Perspective…

 

“Finally, a textbook that emphasizes the new Positive Psychology movement!  The more I read this text, the more I like it.” 

–Meredyth G. Fellows, West Chester University of Pennsylvania

 

 

“It brings a fresh perspective (postmodern, multiple perspectives, multicultural intentionality–concepts not addressed in my text and other similar texts) to understanding theories of counseling and psychotherapy.”

–Claire Sham Choy, California State University, Fresno

 

 

“Finally, a textbook that centralizes multicultural-feminist-social justice movements and positive psychology (as well as constructivism and postmodernism) without tacking them on to the end!  A terrific book for a master’s or advanced undergraduate course in theories or in multicultural counseling.” 

–Sharon Horne, The University of Memphis

 

 

“The strength of this text is that it integrates multicultural issues into each chapter and utilizes multicultural examples to explore different theories. This integration is coupled with the specific discussion of multicultural theory as a theory in and of itself. The multidimensional approach to multiculturalism champions the current thinking of our time that celebrates an integrative and infused perspective.”

–Nicole Hill, Idaho State University
