About the Book
This text offers an extensive array of theories that includes all the mainstream theories as well as such contemporary approaches as narrative, feminist, and post-modern. It provides students an integrative framework with which to assess the various theories with respect to possible clinical application. This is not a book that simply lists and describes theories; rather it compares and contrasts them, showing strengths and weaknesses, in a way to help students apply them flexibly. There are 21 theories presented, including an entire chapter on the American approach to multicultural psychotherapy allowing instructors the flexibility to select the theoretical approaches of their choice. The author also presents a unique case study of Justin, the 12-year-old boy of mixed African American father and White mother, living in Utah, which demonstrates the different theoretical approaches contained within the book.
