Overview

Developing Your Theoretical Orientation in Counseling and Psychotherapy is an interactive guide for helping you choose a theoretical orientation. Appropriate for mental health counselors, psychologists, social workers, school counselors, substance abuse counselors, psychotherapists and peer helpers, it helps you find a theoretical orientation aligned with your personal values and worldview. Theories are presented in a way that helps you to identify quickly the philosophical and cultural foundations of the theories while also accessing the theories' goals and techniques. The 4th Edition is updated to include a deeper discussion of the implications of empirically validated treatments, a new review of the implications of common-factor approaches, and much more.
