Case Studies in Psychotherapy, 6th Edition

by Danny Wedding, Raymond J. Corsini

Wedding and Corsini's popular casebook, CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, provides classic and contemporary cases that vividly bring concepts to life for your students. All cases are selected on the basis of intrinsic interest, clarity of presentation, and the extent to which each case demonstrates the basic techniques and methods of the theory being studied. Compelling new cases have been added that illustrate Existential Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Therapy in a Multicultural context, while retaining the classic case studies by some of the world's most important psychotherapists, including Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, and Peggy Papp.

"Case Studies in Psychotherapy" by Danny Wedding et al.

This book consists of 14 chapters in which different models and schools of psychotherapy are shown in practice in a way that each model is applied to one case or more. There's a book written by the same authors (Current Psychotherapies) in which current psychotherapy models are explained completely and authors claim that it can be used beside this book. However, I haven't read that book and found this book nearly enough for a practical introduction to different models.

Chapters include: psychoanalytic psychotherapy, adlerian psychotherapy, client-centered therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, existential psychotherapy, gestalt therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, family therapy, contemplative psychotherapies, positive psychotherapy, integrative psychotherapies, multicultural psychotherapy.

Some chapters have dialogues which help to better understanding the models, but some only have a description like a rigid scientific case study. After all, by reading this book you'll understand which models are more suitable for which illnesses and problems.

This book is amazing to either revise your knowledge on psychology or to learn more about human behaviour.

Obviously these case studies have been carefully chosen and the clients are very responsive to psychotherapy but they are real. Also, it is a very holistic book. There are various methods to practice therapy and they are all very interesting, informative.

What I really related to was “Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy” which is an event and belief driven technique that allows you to put a tangible discussion about anything going on in your life. I love it since it is solution oriented, definitely added it to my arsenal.

Her bir doktorun hastasıyla işlemiş olduğu hastalıklarının bağlarını anlatmaktadır. Güzel kitap ve canım sıkıldıkça bazı bölümleri tekrar okuyabileceğimi düşünüyorum. Kitap amacı gereğince psikoloji öğrencilerine ve psikologlara hitap etse de eminim herkes kendinden birşeyler bulacaktır.
