Case Approach to Counseling

A very helpful book and introduction to accompany the theories book published by the same author. The author writes well in a field not known for good writing. In my opinion, this text should be integrated into the primary text like other popular theories texts (see Sharf or Archer & McCarthy). Lastly, I think that once you have read a Corey text, you have read them all. As a good writer, his books sell. Consequently, there are many ancillary materials that acoompany each text publication, which makes a lot of money for both the author and the publisher.

My review

It is a good book for demonstrating each of the therapeutic techniques. It was nice to be able to read about each approach to therapy in the textbook and then see it put into practice in the Case Approach book.

Case Approach to Counseling and Psychotherapy

This is an excellent independent resource for MA level classes, in addtion to an instructional guide for interviewing techniques in the field.

Very Helpful Book

Although this book was not required reading for my counseling class, I am glad that I bought it. It has helped me to gain a deeper understanding of the various theories. Also, it really is entertaining reading.
