Description

The introduction explains that individual therapy has developed through many different theoretical approaches, each offering its own understanding of human problems, psychological distress, and methods of helping clients. The book introduces readers to the diversity of counselling and psychotherapy practices by examining the history, theories, techniques, strengths, and limitations of various therapeutic models. It emphasizes that no single approach can fully explain every client’s experience, and therapists need to understand different perspectives to provide effective support. The handbook is designed to help counselling and psychotherapy trainees, as well as practitioners from related helping professions, develop a broad understanding of individual therapy and its application in practice
