Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, Corey offers an easy-to-understand text that helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models. This book is the center of a suite of products that include a revised student manual, a revised casebook, a new DVD titled "Theory in Practice: The Case of Stan", The Art of Integrative Counseling, and CD-ROM.

New to the theory chapters in Part 2 is a section on the applications of the concepts and techniques of each model to the practice of group counseling. Chapter 15 (An Integrative Perspective) is extensively revised and offers new coverage on the movement toward psychotherapy integration; expanded coverage of the various routes to integration; new material on research demonstrating the importance of the therapeutic relationship; more discussion on the central role of the client in determining therapy outcomes; the case for practice-based evidence rather than evidence-based practice; and expanded and updated coverage of the conclusions from the research literature on the effectiveness of therapy.
