The Handbook of Individual Therapy by Windy Dryden
First published in 1996, this is the standard textbook for students wishing to understand the key counselling and psychotherapy approaches. No other book goes into as much depth as each expert contributor presents a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of their established approach to individual therapy practice.
Once again, the latest edition of the Handbook of Individual Therapy offers a masterful overview of the various approaches to ′healing the psyche′ which are available in Britain todayThe Handbook puts the different therapeutic traditions in a cultural and historical context, and offers an up-to-date view of the nature of psychotherapy as it is currently practiced. Each chapter uses a standard format which offers the reader a clear pathway through the key issues, and the work is brought alive with in-depth case studies. The Handbook of Individual Therapy continues to be the book that one turns to when looking for a clear introduction to the broad range of talking cures that are offered in the UK today. -- Dr Nick Midgley
