Systems, Strategies and Skills of Counseling and Psychotherapy categorizes theories into four groups based on their focus, (background, emotions and sensations, thoughts or actions and behaviors) providing meaningful and coherent organization of both well-established and emerging approaches to counseling and psychotherapy. In addition, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice by integrating theories, strategies, and skill development in each chapter with the strongest emphasis on the application of theories than others currently available. By the conclusion of the book, readers will have learned the important theories in the field and will have developed some competence in the essential skills of the clinician.
