This book is intended for counseling courses for undergraduate and graduate stu- dents in psychology, counselor education, human services, and the mental health professions. It surveys the major concepts and practices of the contemporary ther- apeutic systems and addresses some ethical and professional issues in counseling practice. The book aims to teach students to select wisely from various theories and techniques and to begin to develop a personal style of counseling.
I have found that students appreciate an overview of the divergent contem- porary approaches to counseling and psychotherapy. They also consistently say that the first course in counseling means more to them when it deals with them personally. Therefore, I stress the practical application of the material and encour- age reflection. Using this book can be both a personal and an academic learning experience.
In this ninth edition, every effort has been made to retain the major qualities that students and professors have found helpful in the previous editions: the suc- cinct overview of the key concepts of each theory and their implications for prac- tice, the straightforward and personal style, and the book’s comprehensive scope. Care has been taken to present the theories in an accurate and fair way. I have at- tempted to be simple, clear, and concise. Because many students want suggestions for supplementary reading as they study each therapy approach, I have included an updated reading list at the end of each chapter.
This edition updates the material and refines existing discussions. Part 1 deals with issues that are basic to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy. Chapter 1 puts the book into perspective, then students are introduced to the counselor— as a person and a professional—in Chapter 2. This chapter addresses a number of topics pertaining to the role of the counselor as a person and the therapeutic relationship. Chapter 3 introduces students to some key ethical issues in coun- seling practice, and several of the topics in this chapter have been updated and expanded.
Part 2 is devoted to a consideration of 11 theories of counseling. Each of the theory chapters follows a common organizational pattern, and students can easily compare and contrast the various models. This pattern includes core topics such as key concepts, the therapeutic process, therapeutic techniques and procedures, multicultural perspectives, theory applied to the case of Stan, and summary and evaluation. In this ninth edition, all of the chapters in Part 2 have been revised, updated, and expanded to reflect recent trends. Revisions were based on the rec- ommendations of experts in each theory, all of whom are listed in the Acknowledg- ments section. Both expert and general reviewers provided suggestions for adding, replacing, and expanding material for this edition. Attention was given to current

trends and recent developments in the practice of each theoretical approach. For each chapter in Part 2, the citations have been updated.
Each of the 11 theory chapters summarizes key points and evaluates the con- tributions, strengths, limitations, and applications of these theories. Special attention is given to evaluating each theory from a multicultural perspective as well, with a commentary on the strengths and shortcomings of the theory in working with diverse client populations. The consistent organization of the sum- mary and evaluation sections makes comparing theories easier. Students are given recommendations regarding where to look for further training for all of the approaches. Updated annotated lists of reading suggestions and extensive refer- ences at the end of these chapters are offered to stimulate students to expand on the material and broaden their learning through further reading. In addition, a list of DVD resources has been added to the ninth edition for each of the theory chapters.

In Part 3 readers are helped to put the concepts together in a meaningful way through a discussion of the integrative perspective and consideration of a case study. Chapter 15 (“An Integrative Perspective”) pulls together themes from all 11 theoretical orientations. This chapter has been revised to expand discus- sion of the psychotherapy integration movement; revise treatment of the various integrative approaches; update and expand the section on integration of multi- cultural issues in counseling; revise the section on integration of spirituality in counseling; add material on research demonstrating the importance of the thera- peutic relationship; more discussion on the central role of the client in determin- ing therapy outcomes; and update coverage of the conclusions from the research literature on the effectiveness of psychotherapy. Chapter 15 develops the notion that an integrative approach to counseling practice is in keeping with meeting the needs of diverse client populations in many different settings. Numerous tables and other integrating material help students compare and contrast the 11 approaches.
The “Case of Stan” has been retained in Chapter 16 to help readers see the application of a variety of techniques at various stages in the counseling process with the same client. This chapter illustrates an integrative approach that draws from all the therapies and applies a thinking, feeling, and behaving model in counseling Stan. Applying the various theories to a single case example allows for a comparison among the approaches. The video program (DVD for Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy: The Case of Stan and Lecturettes) can be used as an ideal supplement to this chapter. For each of the 13 sessions in the DVD program in my counseling with Stan, I apply just a few selected techniques designed to illustrate each theory in action. New to accompany this ninth edition is a series of lecturettes that I present for each chapter in this textbook. This ex- panded DVD program now includes both demonstrations of my counseling with Stan and brief lectures that highlight my perspective on the practical applications of each theory.
This text can be used in a flexible way. Some instructors will follow my se- quencing of chapters. Others will prefer to begin with the theory chapters (Part 2) and then deal later with the student’s personal characteristics and ethical issues. The topics can be covered in whatever order makes the most sense. Readers are offered some suggestions for using this book in Chapter 1.
In this edition I have made every effort to incorporate those aspects that have worked best in the courses on counseling theory and practice that I regularly teach. To help readers apply theory to practice, I have also revised the Student Manual, which is designed for experiential work. The Student Manual for Theory and Prac- tice of Counseling and Psychotherapy still contains open-ended questions, many new cases for exploration and discussion, structured exercises, self-inventories, and a variety of activities that can be done both in class and out of class. The ninth edition features a structured overview, as well as a glossary, for each of the theories, and chapter quizzes for assessing the level of student mastery of basic concepts.
CourseMate, a new online resource, is available to accompany this textbook. It contains the video program for Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy:

The Case of Stan and Lecturettes, as well as a glossary of key terms, interviews with ex- perts (questions and answers by experts in the various theories), and case examples for each of the theories illustrating ways of applying these concepts and techniques to a counseling case.
The newly revised and enlarged Case Approach to Counseling and Psychotherapy (Eighth Edition) features experts working with the case of Ruth from the vari- ous therapeutic approaches. The casebook can either supplement this book or stand alone. An additional chapter covering transactional analysis is available on WebTutor.® This material is provided in the same format as the 11 theory chapters in this book and includes experiential exercises that can be completed individually or in small groups.
Accompanying this ninth edition of the text and Student Manual is a DVD for Integrative Counseling: The Case of Ruth and Lecturettes, in which I demonstrate an integrative approach in counseling Ruth (the central character in the casebook). It contains lecturettes on how I draw from key concepts and techniques from the various theories presented in the book. This DVD program has been developed for student purchase and use as a self-study program, and it makes an ideal learning package that can be used in conjunction with this text and the Student Manual. The Art of Integrative Counseling (Third Edition), which expands on the material in Chapter 15 of the textbook, also complements this book.
Some professors have found the textbook and the Student Manual or the online program (CourseMate) to be ideal companions and realistic resources for a single course. Others like to use the textbook and the casebook as companions. With this revision it is now possible to have a unique learning package of several books, along with the DVD for Integrative Counseling: The Case of Ruth and Lecturettes. The Case Approach to Counseling and Psychotherapy and the Art of Integrative Counseling can also be used in a various classes, a few of which include case-management practicum, fieldwork courses, or counseling techniques courses.
Also available is a revised and updated Instructor’s Resource Manual, which includes suggestions for teaching the course, class activities to stimulate inter- est, PowerPoint presentations for all chapters, and a variety of test questions and final examinations.
