Counseling and Psychotherapy

The biggest reason for psychologist burn out is not defining oneself theoretically or truly knowing your worldview as a therapist. Les Parrott's very accessible style of writing explains the various therapy theories with enough pros and cons for you to examine each critically and integrate that which you relate to into your personal theory or worldview. Chapter 5 is an introduction to your Personal Theory of Therapy and is written simply, in a conversational style. The last chapter "Comparing the Major Therapeutic Theories" is brief and excellent. This is really the only book on therapy theories you'll ever need. It's fantastic and enjoyable to read!
