Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy, 11th Edition

The Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy, Eleventh Edition, by Gerald Core,y presents a clear introduction to major counseling models. The book covers psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, feminist, postmodern, and integrative approaches.

This edition explains the principles of each theory and shows how they can be applied to case examples, including the well-known cases of “Stan” and “Gwen.” It provides practical insights into how different therapeutic perspectives can be compared, contrasted, and integrated in counseling practice.

The text also includes learning support through MindTap resources, with case-based videos designed to illustrate counseling concepts in practice.
