Counseling Theory cover

Organized around the latest CACREP standards, Counseling Theory: Guiding Reflective Practice, by Richard D. Parsons and Naijian Zhang, presents theory as an essential component to both counselor identity formation and professional practice. Drawing on the contributions of current practitioners, the text uses both classical and cutting-edge theoretical models of change as lenses for processing client information and developing case conceptualizations and intervention plans. Each chapter provides a snapshot of a particular theory/approach and the major thinkers associated with each theory as well as case illustrations and guided practice exercises to help readers internalize the content presented and apply it to their own development as counselors.

This text does an excellent job of providing clear examples of the actual application of various theories in counseling practice. I particularly like the fact that it follows one specific case with examples of how counselors with different theoretical orientations might approach that case. -- Dr Pamela Danker * drupal *
Excellent reflective text with practical, relatable cases studies and a strong emphasis on underpinning psychology. -- Miss Laura Guest * drupal *
