Summary This text presents an introduction to the theory and practice of psychotherapy. It is designed both to provide a review of the major theories in the field and a demonstration of current practices. With this goal in mind, the book includes two chapters for each of the most important schools of thought, one describing the historical background and theoretical development, the other focusing on application and technique. This flexibility - intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice - establishes the unique value of the text as an informative and entertaining introduction to the field of psychotherapy, suitable for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The work contains timely chapters on important special issues, such as ethics in psychotherapy and cultural and ethnic sensitivity. The editors and contributors comprise an outstanding group of internationally recognized authorities
