by Janet P. Moursund, Richard G. Erskine

Suitable for students of both counseling and clinical psychology, this clearly written and readable description of integrative psychotherapy/counseling focuses on the central role of the therapeutic relationship, and of relationships in general, both in the healing process and in maintaining a psychologically healthy life. It posits that the therapeutic relationship is key to helping clients become integrated or whole. The work can be divided into three Theoretical Foundations, Therapeutic Practice, and Transcript (a full, verbatim transcript of a therapy session). A linkage index provides links between concepts covered in the text and applications as demonstrated in the transcript.
