Overview

Counseling and Psychotherapy: Theory and Beyond introduces readers to some of the major theories, approaches, modalities, and influences that help guide clinical counseling and psychotherapy. It covers some traditional theories but is not a strict

"theory" text in the conventional sense. The book is much more than a repackaging of a 1980s era mode of thinking as both the established and the burgeoning are featured throughout. The sixteen chapters comprising this book address what counselors and therapists actually practice, present at conferences, and research. Editor Russell Fulmer and the impressive array of thirty-seven contributing authors present three overarching themes throughout the book: Realism (i.e. the inclusion of Trauma-Informed Counseling and Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards); Innovation (such as coverage of the latest on neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence), and Integration (i.e. Motivational Interviewing integrated with CBT). The emphasis on technology makes this an especially noteworthy volume for anyone teaching or taking a counseling theory or skills course.
