I was on the last day of a three year Psychotherapy course when the tutor casually mentioned we should have this book because it compared different theoretical approaches to a hypothetical case.
I picked up a secondhand copy from here and within a few pages I realised I was reading an essential textbook that would have made my course a million times easier.
The uncomplicated language makes it simple to understand without ever being patronising.
It's a straight-forward, no-nonsense, look at the basic tenets of all of the major approaches with recommended reading for further study.
Absolutely fantastic !
As a student it would have been invaluable and even though I'm now qualified, it's still an excellent source of reference.

A Comprehensive introduction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014Verified Purchase
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to therapy. It is clearly written, offering a brief history of each therapeutic approach its main assumptions, how the therapy is applied, and includes an analysis of cross cultural considerations. Its brilliant. How could it be improved ? I would like any future additions to include Focusing-oriented Therapy, and some of the more advanced types of CBT such as MBCT and Compassion Focused Therapy. However its still a brilliant book and well worth buying for any counselling student.
