Aprašymas

Every theory of counseling carries within it a picture of the human person-and every client brings a picture of their own. Theories of Counseling: An Integrative, Multifaith Approach offers a clear, comprehensive survey of the field's major traditions-psychodynamic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, narrative, and more-while keeping that deeper question always in view. Across seventeen chapters it introduces each approach on its own terms, examines the counseling relationship and the development of the counselor, and engages directly with culture, justice, and faith. Its distinctive contribution is a sustained, even-handed attention to worldview-including a full chapter on working across Christian, Jewish, and secular frameworks-and a consistent discipline of honoring the convictions, religious and secular alike, within which clients understand their lives. Written for clinical, pastoral, and educational settings and equipped with case vignettes, learning objectives, reflection boxes, discussion questions, and a consolidated glossary, it is a textbook for counselors who would understand both the theories they practice and the persons they serve.
