Psychotherapy: An Eclectic-Integrative Approach (Revised)

Uses an eclectic orientation and also offers a synthesized and unified presentation of the psychotherapy process. Describes concepts and procedures from key therapy approaches, bringing them together as important components in therapy. Traces the psychotherapeutic process through its three stages: beginning phase, middle phase and termination. Considers the critical variables in the process: the client or patient, the therapist, and the interaction between them. This version includes new coverage of brief psychotherapy along with emerging integrative trends in psychotherapy.
