About The Book

Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy (11th Edition) by Gerald Corey serves as the cornerstone text for introducing students to the major theories of counseling and clinical practice. Comparing eleven core theoretical orientations—including Psychoanalytic, Adlerian, Existential, Person-Centered, Gestalt, CBT, Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, Postmodern, and Family Systems—this book demonstrates how each approach can be selectively integrated into a personalized counseling style. Through a singular case study (Stan) analyzed through every theoretical lens, readers gain comparative clarity on theoretical application, ethics, and therapeutic techniques.
