Preface
P sychotherapy and counseling are ever evolving. The dominant methods of practice
during each era have been challenged by both the development of new variations on
that method and the remarkably different ways of seeing the nature and treatment
of human problems. Some of the most prominent therapies of a generation ago are
no longer widely practiced, while other theories and methods have developed and
become well established.
A nd yet, from another equally valid vantage point, psychotherapy and counseling can
also be viewed as a continuous course of development over the past century. A number of
broad core viewpoints (such as psychoanalytic, cognitive, experiential, and behavioral)
about the nature of human beings, the nature of human problems, and how to help clients
have developed and attained recognition as core schools of treatment. Furthermore, over
the past quarter century, the proponents of these methods have tended more and more
to be in a dialogue with one another, leading to a widespread movement toward integra-
tive and eclectic psychotherapy and counseling that crosses the boundaries of traditional
schools of practice. Most psychotherapists and counselors today describe themselves
as integrative/eclectic in their methods of practice, and even those who practice within
schools of treatment increasingly include elements from other schools in their approaches.
As readily can de seen in reading the chapters in this volume, differences across therapists
can be considerable, but many of the same elements appear across theories and some,
such as critical attention to the therapeutic alliance, transcend all methods.
T his book discusses the theories and methods of psychotherapy and counseling that are
most prominent in practice today. Each chapter presents a particular theory and its related
approach to practice. The approaches chosen refl ect the methods currently most widely
chosen by psychotherapists and counselors as well as those that are most prominently
taught in training programs and those more recently developed treatments that are gain-
ing greatest attention. Because this book was built from the ground up based on today’s
methods of practice, its Contents looks a bit different from earlier books treating this
topic. Some methods such as mindfulness-based, postmodern, and feminist treatments are
represented here whereas they are not represented in other volumes of this kind, while
some older, now less widely practiced, methods such as psychodrama are not included.
Moreover, this book includes three chapters dealing with variations of integrative/eclectic
practice, presenting the various directions of this movement.
The authors of the chapters in this volume have been selected to represent twenty-fi rst
century views of the various theories of practice. Each set of authors includes at least one
(and sometimes more than one) prominent expert in the school of practice covered in the
chapter. Each set of authors brings the vantage point gained from many years of experi-
ence with those methods. Each set of authors also has been involved in the development
of a specifi c variant of the approach, which is described in the latter part of the chapter
along with a case example illustrating that method.

viii Preface
M y hope is that this volume conveys the sense of breadth and excitement in the
fi elds of psychotherapy and counseling today. I also hope the ideas and resources in this
book can serve as the launching point for more in-depth examination of those ideas and
methods that are of greatest interest to the reader.
