Richard S. Sharf

This book is PACKED with information on different (the main) psychotherapy theories. It includes information about each theory such as how it came about, the main people who developed it, the goals of therapy, view of human nature/personality, techniques, and more! To make the book as relevant as possible, there is a section devoted to gender and multicultural issues which each theory as well.

Sharf does a great job of summarizing what can only be very complex theories, and framing them in a way to make them most appealing for any counseling student. (Making my decision of which theory I like most difficult...)

This is a good book for any counselors to be...but I probably wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. :)… (meer)
