| Summary: | This text examines the 5 key theoretical orientations in contemporary psychotherapy: psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and integrative. Contributors lay out the major concepts that define these enduring theories of psychotherapy, discuss the ideas of the theorists who have expanded them, describe the evolution of these central concepts over time, and search for commonalities that unite closely related theories of therapy. This approach, which probes the essence of key assumptions shared by diverse therapists of each orientation, makes this book useful for both clinicians and students.
