The Art of Integrative Counseling (PDF)

By Gerald Corey This textbook outlines the theory and practice of integrative counseling, covering basic concepts and techniques from contemporary theories like psychoanalytic therapy, Adlerian therapy, existential therapy, person-centered therapy, Gestalt therapy, psychodrama, reality therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, feminist therapy, and family systems therapy. It describes the techniques and concepts the author draws from in his integrative approach to counseling; demonstrates how concepts and techniques from different theoretical models can be applied to the counseling process from the initial to termination stages; and suggests ways to think about designing one’s own integrative approach to serve as a foundation for counseling practice. This edition has been revised to update discussions and refine ideas, with recent research on topics like the role of the therapeutic relationship; the role of client feedback in therapy outcomes; how addressing diversity is essential in an integrative approach; evidence-based practice in working with clients in cognitive, emotive, and behavioral ways; trends in integrative therapies; and the future of psychotherapy integration and the role of evidence-based practice. It has more on the dynamics of resistance; new material and expansion of the cognitive behavior approaches and how cognitive behavior therapy can provide a foundation for an integrative approach; new sections incorporating mindfulness and acceptance-based concepts; an emphasis on flexibility and tailoring treatment to individuals; more discussion of understanding transference and countertransference; understanding the role of the past, present, and future; more emphasis on solution-focused brief therapy and narrative therapy; and expanded discussion of termination.
