Product Description
Review
"Students love this book. They constantly comment on the organization and how interesting it is to read. I require them to do a template for each theory based on key figures, goals, role, and function of therapist. It is the organization of the book that facilitates the completion and understanding of the templates for students."
"Corey does two things extremely well: He takes complex theory and distills it into concise, comprehensible reading for beginning students. He also does a superb job of demonstrating how theoretical concepts can be applied to a counseling setting.“
"In general, I believe that the Corey text is one of the best available for students at the level at which I teach (psychology majors at the advanced level)."
"…well-written, up-to-date, highly readable and accessible, an excellent introduction to counseling theories, and a text that emphasizes growth and wholeness rather than pathology. In describing this book, I would also emphasize the attention to diversity that flows throughout the book. I would highlight both the multicultural sections and the feminist therapy approach as evidence of Corey’s commitment to an inclusive approach." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Book Description
This revision of Gerald Corey's best-selling text covers 10 contemporary theories (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, and, NEW to this edition, feminist) and demonstrates how each theory can be applied to a single case (Stan). Corey's Sixth Edition covers the major concepts of counseling theories, shows students how to apply those theories in practice, and helps them learn to integrate the theories into an individualized counseling style. Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, Corey offers an easy-to-understand text that helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models. This book is the center of a suite of products that include a revised student manual, a revised casebook, a new companion text, and an all-new student video and workbook.

This review is from: Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
I ordered this book for one of my classes. After over 2 weeks of waiting, I was notified the book was broken and had to be re-ordered. I was only offered 20% off for the inconvenience. I had an exam with which I couldn't use the required book to study but had to find other means. It did however take less then 2 weeks to receive the second copy. Everything turned out alright as I now have my book.

This review is from: Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
Corey writes great textbooks because he covers a lot of material, talks in a language you can understand, and tells you the similarities and differences between the different schools of thought/psychology. I highly recommend any of his books! I even purchased his group counseling textbook because the one my professor required us to buy was too hard to understand!

This review is from: Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
I am using this book along with the Becvar and Becvar book for Marriage and Family therapy. I found the book to be generally good as far as breaking down theories and explaining pros and cons. Because he writes each chapter the same for each theory after awhile everything becomes a blurr. I am in a highly accelerated program and this book offered basically a good explanation of all therapies.
