Comprehensive Textbook of Psychotherapy by Bongar

Comprehensive Textbook of Psychotherapy by Bongar

This is an introduction to the major theories and practices of psychotherapy. The book is designed both to provide a survey review of the major theories in the field and a demonstration of current practices. Two chapters are presented for each of the most important theories, one that describes historical background and theoretical developments and the other presents an abbreviated manual of application. In addition, further chapters are devoted to particular applications and population such as ethnic minorities, women, older adults, and children. Special chapters on research, training, and ethical issues are also provided.

"The authors of each of the chapters is well known, clearly identified with the approach being described, and well suited for the task. . . The content is uniformly substantial and informative . . . . The taks of summarizing the current status of the psychotherapies is well done and serves its purpose as a potential textbook as well as a good resource for professionals."--Contemporary Psychology "This is the book I have been waiting for for years! Up-to-date, comprehensive, authoritative coverage of a suitable, contemporary array of pertinent topics."--Geoffrey Thorpe, University of Maine "Useful review."--Domeena Renshaw, Loyola University Medical School "A substantive compendium--comprehensive, scholarly and erudite.

Pollack, Harvard Medical School "An excellent, clear readable text."--Ken Altshuler, M.D., University of Texas "Excellent text to prepare students for changes in psychiatric mental health care."--Professor Edna Hamera, Ph.D., University of Kansas
