N2  - In each chapter of this book, the author attempts to present various theories of counseling and psychotherapy in a straightforward, understandable way. She illustrates the application of a construct or process by showing how it relates to the client case described at the beginning of each chapter. The author notes that she uses different client cases for each chapter for at least two reasons: First, to show that theory can apply to clients who range across the broad spectrum of individual and cultural diversity and present with many kinds of distress. Second, she does not want the readers to lose interest from reading about the same case chapter after chapter. Therapies covered in this book include: Psychoanalysis; Person-centered Therapy; Behavior Therapy; Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy; Cognitive Therapy; Reality Therapy; Gestalt Therapy; Interpersonal Psychotherapy; Solution-focused Therapy; and Feminist Therapy.
