A step forward from the traditional textbook on counseling theories, Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: An Integrative Approach offers students a comprehensive overview of past and current approaches to psychotherapy and counseling, with a modern approach to theories of psychotherapy. An extensive array of mainstream theories, as well as contemporary approaches such as narrative, feminist, LGBT, and post-modern, are covered. Author Elsie Jones-Smith helps readers to construct their integrated approach to psychotherapy by learning how to develop a broad range of therapeutic expertise to meet the needs of a culturally diverse clientele. In addition to listing and describing theories, this text compares and contrasts them to show their strengths and weaknesses. The Third Edition includes a new chapter on trauma-informed counseling/psychotherapy and provides updated references, sections, and studies reflecting the latest developments within the helping professions.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:
  • A new chapter on trauma-informed counseling/psychotherapy explores this area of counseling that has gained momentum and prominence since the 1980s.
  • Theories of psychotherapy are grouped under the headings of five major forces in psychology and psychotherapy:
    • 1. psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories
    • 2. behavior and cognitive therapy theories
    • 3. existential-humanistic theories
    • 4. social constructivist, postmodern, and integrative approaches to therapy
    • 5. neuroscience and psychopharmacology
  • A new section on the “third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapies”—cognitive-behavioral theoretical approaches that have incorporated Eastern perspectives and mindfulness—is added.
  • Three new cognitive-behavioral approaches to psychotherapy are presented, including dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
  • Recent psychotherapy theories are introduced, including interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), emotion-focused therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-focused counseling, and neuroscience counseling.
  • Author Elsie Jones-Smith modifies Brooks-Harris’s model by adding five other dimensions, including spiritual, relational, strengths (internal and external), evidence-based research, and the change process.
  • Updated developments related to neuroscience include such areas as interpersonal psychotherapy, emotion-focused therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, neurocounseling, and trauma-informed counseling.
  • Part IV (The Fourth Force in Psychotherapy: Social Constructivism and Postmodernism) is highly responsive to CACREP standards and the need to include cultural diversity across the broad spectrum of counseling and psychology courses.
  • This new edition continues its strong emphasis on cultural diversity and includes a new section on cultural positives and cultural blind spots for each major psychotherapy presented.

KEY FEATURES:

  • In addition to traditional and social constructivist theories, this text takes a bold step and includes more contemporary approaches to psychotherapy, with individual chapters on spirituality and psychotherapy, strengths-based therapy, neuroscience and neuropsychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and the expressive arts therapies.
  • A strong focus of diversity is apparent throughout, exploring critical issues such as gay and lesbian identity development, counseling from a feminist perspective, Arab Muslim views on psychotherapy, Japanese and Chinese approaches to psychotherapy, and more.
  • A separate chapter on spirituality and psychotherapy provides a section on clinical assessment and questions to bring forth clients’ spiritual life—a major milestone in a counseling theory book.
  • Tables and charts throughout the book compare and contrast theories and clarify key concepts.
  • Brief biographies of each theorist’s life explore the impact of their life on the development of their approach to psychotherapy. The biographical descriptions provide engaging classroom discussions and reveal the personal side of theorists.
  • Extensive question and answer sections at the end of each chapter promote active involvement and reflection.
  • A collection of original videos demonstrating key concepts covered in the text is available to purchase with the text.
