What is Psychotherapy?
Contemporary Perspectives
by Jeffrey K. Zeig and W. Michael Munion
Rating: 5
Since Freud invented the "talking cure" a century ago, the field of psychotherapy has developed and expanded considerably. This book presents a comprehensive report on the status of the field as we enter the 1990s. What Is Pyschotherapy? draws on the expertise of eminent clinicians from a range of theoretical orientations - including psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral, cognitive, philosophical, family, group, and hypnotherapy - to provide an extensive, up-to-date assesment of advances within the major approaches in the field of psychotherapy.
In eighty-one original commentaries the contributors, innovators within their respective disciplines, reveal their own vision of psychotherapy. They address topics ranging from the philosophical, such as the assumptions enderlying strategic/systemic family therapy, to the technical, such as the steps for treating posttraumatic stress disorder. What Is Pyschotherapy? is a useful resource for comparing how different approaches are being applied today, offering practitioners the insights they need to broaden their treatment options, and showing students how to put the theories they are studying into practice.
