Person-Centered Approaches for Counselors (Theories for Counselors)

Integrating common factors research and practice, Person-Centered Approaches for Counselors by H. D. Cornelius-White highlights the deep social justice roots of the approaches and shows counselors in training and experienced therapists how to integrate person-centered process and outcome measures to improve therapy outcomes. For each of the person-centered approaches covered (including classical, focusing, emotion-focused, intersubjective, and interdisciplinary orientations) this accessible book covers historical development, theory, process, evaluation, and application. Person-Centered Approaches for Counselors is part of the SAGE Theories for Counselors Series that includes Psychoanalytic Approaches for Counselors by Frederick Redekop and Cognitive Behavioral Approaches for Counselors by Diane Shea. A concise, conversational approach speaks directly to graduate students' concerns and makes key information easy to understand and apply. Transcripts of actual counseling sessions and scenarios of different client responses bring theories to life. A common factors approach to therapy is integrated into every section, providing compelling evidence and practical suggestions for improving training and practice.
