Book Overview
For courses in Counseling Theories and Techniques. Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Systems, Strategies, and Skills categorizes theories by their focus (background; emotions and sensations; thoughts; or actions). This structure helps students better understand similarities and differences among theories and provides an overarching framework that other texts lack. The book explores both established and emerging treatment systems. Using skill development sections, diverse case studies and innovative exercises, the text moves beyond traditional texts to directly connect counseling theories to clinical practice. It reflects current knowledge about effective treatment, theories and interventions, and continually promotes readers' skill development and confidence. By the end of the text, readers will have an introduction to the theoretical foundations of the field and the basic clinical skills needed to be an effective helping professional.

Great if you are taking class with Dr. Santangelo
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the book you need at William Paterson university, if you are in the counseling program. Class 606-60. Great class, and the book is a very helpful tool to understand and get more detail and theories and practices. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the counseling profession. I will likely get made fun of for writing this review.
Comprehensive and very readable book on counseling theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Systems, Strategies and Skills" is an excellent read for students early in their counseling careers as well as for those who want to read a concise and to-the-point overview of theories of counseling and psychotherapy. Dr. Seligman finds a way to present the core of many theories, highlighting how they can be applied in treatment. This is a book that is straightforward and packed with useful information for clinicians.
