"This text deals with the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy. Its uniqueness lies in its simplified summary of important theories and in its meaningful critique of each theory. The 'systems approach' covering each chapter is an innovation for this type of textbook, and it permits an objective evaluation of each student's progress in the course"--preface. |
