    Preface to Tenth Edition

    T his book is intended for counseling courses for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, counselor education, human services, and the mental health professions. It surveys the major concepts and practices of the contemporary therapeutic systems and addresses some ethical and professional issues in counsel- ing practice. The book aims to teach students to select wisely from various theories and techniques and to begin to develop a personal style of counseling. Foundational Knowledge & Application Paper

    I have found that students appreciate an overview of the divergent contempo- rary approaches to counseling and psychotherapy. They also consistently say that the first course in counseling means more to them when it deals with them person- ally. Therefore, I stress the practical applications of the material and encourage per- sonal reflection. Using this book can be both a personal and an academic learning experience.

    In this tenth edition, every effort has been made to retain the major qualities that students and professors have found useful in the previous editions: the succinct overview of the key concepts of each theory and their implications for practice, the straightforward and personal style, and the book’s comprehensive scope. Care has been taken to present the theories in an accurate and fair way. I have attempted to be simple, clear, and concise. Because many students want suggestions for supple- mentary reading as they study each therapy approach, I have included an updated reading list at the end of each chapter and a list of references for each chapter at the end of the book.

    This tenth edition updates the material and refines existing discussions. Part 1 deals with issues that are basic to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy. Chapter 1 puts the book into perspective, then students are introduced to the counselor—as a person and a professional—in Chapter 2. This chapter addresses a number of topics pertaining to the role of the counselor as a person and the ther- apeutic relationship. Chapter 3 introduces students to some key ethical issues in counseling practice, and several of the topics in this chapter have been updated and expanded. Expanded coverage is given to the ACA’s 2014 Code of Ethics.

    Part 2 is devoted to a consideration of 11 theories of counseling. Each of the theory chapters follows a common organizational pattern, and students can easily compare and contrast the various models. This pattern includes core topics such as key concepts, the therapeutic process, therapeutic techniques and procedures, mul- ticultural perspectives, the theory applied to the case of Stan and new to this edition to the case of Gwen, and summary and evaluation. In this tenth edition, each of the chapters in Part 2 has been revised, updated, and expanded to reflect recent trends, and references have been updated as well. Revisions were based on the recommenda- tions of experts in each theory, all of whom are listed in the Acknowledgments sec- tion. Attention was given to current trends and recent developments in the practice of each theoretical approach. Foundational Knowledge & Application Paper
