Modern Psychotherapies by Stanton L Jones
The wide variety of psychotherapies that psychologists and students of psychology face can make for a confusing picture. The level of complexity is multiplied for Christians since they must ask how a particular psychotherapy fits (or doesn't fit) with a Christian understanding of persons and their suffering. In this expanded and thoroughly update edition, Stanton Jones and Richard Butman continue to offer a careful analysis and penetrating critiques of the myriad of psychotherapies now current in the field of psychology including:- Classical Psychoanalysis
- Contemporary Psychodynamic Psychotherapies
- Behavior Therapy
- Cognitive Therapy
- Person-Centered Therapy
- Experiential Therapies
- Family Systems Theory and Therapy
