Theories of Psychotherapy and Counseling: Concepts and Cases

Comprehensive in scope yet concise in its description and explanation of the systematic theories of psychotherapy and counseling, Sharf provides a thorough explanation of concepts, illustrated by examples of their application through the usage of case summaries and therapist-client dialogue to illustrate techniques and treatment. For most theories, the author shows how they can be applied to individual therapy or counseling for common psychological disorders, such as depression and generalized anxiety disorders. He also demonstrates how each theory can be applied to group therapy.
