1) Product Description
This revision of Gerald Corey's best-selling text covers 10 contemporary theories (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, and, NEW to this edition, feminist) and demonstrates how each theory can be applied to a single case (Stan). Corey's Sixth Edition covers the major concepts of counseling theories, shows students how to apply those theories in practice, and helps them learn to integrate the theories into an individualized counseling style. Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, Corey offers an easy-to-understand text that helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models. This book is the center of a suite of products that include a revised student manual, a revised casebook, a new companion text, and an all-new student video and workbook.

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Great Text! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was a very thorough and easy-to-read book about the various theories of counseling and psychotherapy. I, personally, often need "supplemental" things to go with a text to help me learn the material. This book did a great job of explaining the concepts, comparing and contrasting theories, and giving examples of practice and assessment. Although someone else that wrote a review didn't particularly care for the student manual, I found it extremely helpful while preparing for my exams. I read the chapters first, and actually enjoyed the readings, and found that "brushing up" with the student manual before my exam was very helpful, and reinforced the theoretical concepts. Also, the Case Study book was required for my class, and is an excellent source for understanding the theories "in action", so to speak. When learning these types of theories, it is very helpful having concrete examples to work with, and Corey does an excellent job with that. Over all, a great text, with lots of info that is clearly illustrated with examples and case studies.2) Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy (with Web Site, Chapter Quiz Booklet, and InfoTrac ) [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is an outstanding source to orientate counseling graduate students in the systems of psychotherapy.3) Counseling [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I used this book for an advanced counseling class. I will keep it for my library.4) Fast and as expected [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Time from order to shipment was very fast and it came in the condition that i expected.5) excellent teaching tool [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Corey has done an exceptional job of expounding upon the theories he includes in this text. There are biographical notes for the major "players" in the fields of psychotherapy, as well as the breakdown of each therapy into distinct examinations of basic theory, key concepts, techniques, roles of therapist, contributions to psychotherapy, and limitations of the theory in practical applications. This book is designed for student use both in its format and its clear, concise language. By way of definition between the theories, Corey includes a case study of "Stan" which each of the theories address through their own constructs in their various chapters. It is very good to see how each theory would approach "Stan" as a comparative basis.
