ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
This is the ideal book for readers who are just beginning their study of counseling and psychotherapy. From it they will secure a solid foundation in the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy from twenty-three authors who are experienced in the theory they discuss. Because each theory is presented using a standard format and bolstered by a running case study, readers will also come away from this text with the cross-theory comparisons they need to decide on their own course of specialized study, and determine a personal perspective on counseling. Coverage includes Eastern theories, feminist theories, body-centered, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Theory. For anyone interested in pursuing a career in counseling and psychotherapy.
USER REVIEWS
"This book is mostly useful because it is easy to read and understand. However, the editors have missed SEVERAL spelling errors, wich I find unexcusable in a college textbook that costs so much money. What do we pay them so much for?
Also, in one chapter the psychology term "tabula rasa" (which is Latin for "blank slate") is discussed. And throughout the chapter the author calls it "tabula ROSA." That does not mean blank slate. That means pink slate. To describe someone's cognitive state at birth as being a PINK slate makes absolutely no sense.
It looks to me like they used a computer spell checker instead of a human to edit the book, and the computer didn't know what "rasa" was and suggested replacing it. Some foolish editor told it to accept the suggestion without thinking (or maybe without knowing) that rasa really was correct. This even led my professor to refer to the concept as tabula rosa in his class lectures. See how quickly incompetence in the editing room can spread to masses of students, and then onward to everyone they eventually teach or work with?"
