 A great book detailing counseling perspectives July 7, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Corey does a wonderful job detailing several perspectives of psychotherapy: psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavioristic, cognitive-behavioristic, systemic, and an integrational perspective. This book is "heady" at points, but it does offer valuable insight into the field of therapy. This book is a must-read for beginners in the field. Another plus is the mention of existential thought as field of psychotherapeutic thought. Some texts do not include this important school. The text is neatly organized into standard sections. The only drawback is the lack of color and variety.
Outstanding Resource. August 18, 2003

This book is an outstanding resource for seasoned therapists as well as those new to the work. One of the most unique parts of this book is the way it takes one case study and uses it to illustrate how each of the different perspectives would approach the same problem. This technique is far more effective than using different case studies to illustrate different techniques. The book also gives very detailed explanations of the perspectives, a little bio of the perspective founder, and also provides information on how to use the perspective in today's world. Another unique factor is that the book provides seperate sections within the chapters to explain the the role of the client and therapist. Of all the books I own this is the most comprehensive book that illustrates how each perspective contributes to each other, how they are similar, and how they are different, while demonstrating how a therapist can use each theory.
Excellent source for the discovery of underlying issues in life September 2, 2005

If anyone thinks that this book concern only to students in the counseling field i shall tell: you are mistakenly wrong. This book really helps bringing out hidden realities of our lives that we do not get used to accept. In my own particular case it made me faced some realities that had deep roots years back, to say my childhood. This is worth the hundred dollars. Do not hesitate buying it. If you do not like any of the philosophical points of any given theory you will probably like the other one of the next chapter and so on......The chapter describing the life cycle is extra excellent...well the hell incredible.....the best you know which cycle you are in the better prepared for future stages in life the better the chances of not getting absorbed by depression. Worth the price, worth the time....RJ...el conejito (the rabbit).

One of the best overviews of theory and application for the beginning graduate student. You must also purchase the workbook that is written by the same author. Together, these two books are a wonderful introduction to therapy models with interesting applications that are truly useful.
