Case Approach to Counseling and Psychotherapy: With Infotrac

Designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice, this text presents vivid examples of how the major counseling approaches (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, feminist and, new to this edition, postmodern approaches) work with a single client, Ruth. By applying each theory to a single client, Dr. Corey illustrates each therapeutic approach in action and helps clear up misconceptions students might have about how a therapy actually works. Guest commentators (each a well-known and highly recognized practitioner) discuss Ruth's case based on their perspectives. In some cases, Dr. Corey was able to enlist the founder of a particular therapy such as William Glasser for choice theory and reality therapy, Arnold Lazarus for multimodal therapy, and Albert Ellis for rational emotive behavior therapy.

Review :
" the book is reader friendly, thorough, and interesting. Also, I would stress the adequate presentation of the theories and the approaches that are taken by different therapists using the same model an on-going case, and the presenting of an integrative approach with an accompanying video. Actually, I cannot find any weaknesses I am quite pleased with his writings." "I like the fact that one case is used throughout the text with the major theories. It demonstrates how some theories are more appropriate than others when dealing with a client's issues . Therefore, by this thorough presentation of the theories, the reader learns the theories, and gets a better understanding of how to choose theories and techniques and also what each theory might reveal about the client."
