Case Studies in Psychotherapy

This is a really good book to help with counseling situations. I recommended it to all counseling professionals who need a book to help them in counseling situations.

I enjoyed the immediate shipping and delivery of this item. It was in great condition!

This book offers clinical critiques of actual cases using a teaching format which defines each case presented with the type of therapy theory employed by the therapist. My personal favorite is chapter 8, "Fat Lady" by Irvin D. Yalom. It is existentialism at its brutally honest best, and shows clearly the human side of the therapist's countertransference and growth through that countertransference. I found this book to be quite an asset for understanding the practical differences between the various counseling theories. It greatly compliments and illustrates the theories in a very readable context.
