Pretty good representation of theories, but quite dry.

super resourceful information about different psychotherapy theories with very cool case conceptualizations and practical application!

[Carly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is PACKED with information on different (the main) psychotherapy theories. It includes information about each theory such as how it came about, the main people who developed it, the goals of therapy, view of human nature/personality, techniques, and more! To make the book as relevant as possible, there is a section devoted to gender and multicultural issues which each theory as well.

Sharf does a great job of summarizing what can only be very complex theories, and framing them in a way to make them most appealing for any counseling student. (Making my decision of which theory I like most difficult...)

This is a good book for any counselors to be...but I probably wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. :)

This is actually one of the textbooks for my Theories of Counseling class for school. I'm not finished yet, I have about 2 more chapters to go. It's not a bad book...but it's not a good book, as far as textbooks go. It gives a thorough history of the main psychotherapy/counseling theories, but it really doesn't go in depth on the concepts or how the theories are put to use in therapy today (there are only brief explanations for those). I'm disappointed in this book. I hope some of our other counseling textbooks are better than this one.

I love the section on existentialism. If you're interested in the subject of psychotherapy at all, this book is fascinating. Each chapter covers a different theory of counseling practice and includes the history of the theory, the important contributions to the theory, the current issues with the theory, and the future of its practice. This one is taking up all of my reading time right now.

Really well done overview of many of the major schools of thought in psychology, including brief case studies and multicultural aspects of each division. Of all the textbooks from this term, this is the only one I kept.

Excellent textbook. Just enough detail to bring the theories alive without becoming overwhelming.
