Core Approaches in Counselling and Psychotherapy is a comprehensive
guide to the four main psychological approaches (Humanistic,
Psychodynamic, Behavioural and Cognitive) and introduces several of the
most common therapies used today. This textbook contains sufficient
coverage to explain all of the most important elements of these core
approaches and sufficient depth to provide a detailed analysis of the
ten main therapies: Person-Centred Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy,
Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional
Analysis, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive-Behaviour
Therapy, Multimodal Therapy and Neurolinguistic Programming.
The book focuses on the development of each approach and presents the
associated therapy in its historical and psychological context, giving a
deeper insight into the theories and clarifying the overlap between
different therapies.
Presented in a unique style, with a clear layout, rigorous content and
extensive resources available online, Core Approaches in Counselling
and Psychotherapy is an invaluable asset for undergraduate and
postgraduate students at all levels of study and is the ideal textbook
for any degree or higher-level module in counselling.
