 Very informative Jul 29, 2004
By Brandon
"unraveling the mystery"
This book gives brief but thorough explanations of the various theories used in clinical practice. This book is dull, at times, but highly useful. A great addition to any knowledge base.

 The psychotherapy book Dec 30, 2002
By Katherine
I used this book as a student in my psychotherapy course. I never knew there were so many psychotherapeutic approaches. I was amazed. I enjoyed exploring all these schools analyzed so beautifully in this book. I finally got the chance to see what school of psychotherapy was closer to my needs. I recommend it to all those who have a blurry idea of psychotherapy, like I did.

Excellent introduction to the many psychotherapies Jan 07, 2005
By Law Enforcement
This book provides excellent introductions to a variety of psychotherapies, indeed the most popular methods today. There are over 400 different therapies, and as such this book can not cover them all. However, the book does provide adequate detail for an indepth overview of the therapies, and comes highly recommended to beginning students and graduate students alike.

Best Book for Clinical Psychology Course Nov 17, 2007
By Colin M. Burchfield, Ph.D.
"Colin M. Burchfield, Ph.D."
This is, by far, my favorite book for use in teaching a Clinical Psychology course. The most appealing component of this book is that it uses theoretical formulators or significant contributors to the perspectives presented(ie., Beck, Ellis, Rollo & May, etc.) as original authors whenever possible. There are, unfortunately, some problematics in the chapters written by others (e.g., the author of the classical psychoanalysis chapter indicating, naively, that Freud's theory was deterministic - ignoring, completely, Freud's more subjective and telic explanations of psychological phenomena and that his deterministic perspectives were more add-ons to his final theory to appease his more biologically minded contemporaries...see my website: [...]). Still, even with such provisos, I recommend this book as a good introduction to theories/perspectives in clinical psychology/psychotherapy. For a better, more comprehensive reading of the grand personality theories and psychotherapies, I HIGHLY recommend you purchase a copy of Rychlak's, _Introduction to Personality and Psychotherapy_.

Great Introduction for Counselors Jul 18, 2010
By GradStudent-2012
THIS TEXTBOOK CONTAINS GRADUATE-LEVEL MATERIAL, so you probably don't want to buy it if you aren't in grad school.
You should be aware that previous editions of this book include some methods not found in this edition. This book is a great resource for graduate students because it focuses on the fundamental counseling theories and practices, which includes: Jungian, Freudian, Cognitive, Adlerian, Rogerian, and others. The material is presented in a concise manner, and each chapter is presented by a practitioner of that particular theory - so the book does not bias you towards any particular theory or practice.
