Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine, January 2010 From the depressed and lonely college student to the business executive at midlife experiencing decreasing levels of career satisfaction to the couple where one partner has been unfaithful in the relationship, counselling is the intervention that numerous individuals turn to each year as the challenges and stress of daily living exceed their normal coping abilities. Counselling is practised by counsellors, social workers, psychiatric nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

What colleagues are saying about the thoroughly revised and reorganized Sixth Edition of Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Multicultural Perspective... "Finally, a textbook that emphasizes the new Positive Psychology movement! The more I read this text, the more I like it." -Meredyth G. Fellows, West Chester University of Pennsylvania "It brings a fresh perspective (postmodern, multiple perspectives, multicultural intentionality-concepts not addressed in my text and other similar texts) to understanding theories of counseling and psychotherapy." -Claire Sham Choy, California State University, Fresno "Finally, a textbook that centralizes multicultural-feminist-social justice movements and positive psychology (as well as constructivism and postmodernism) without tacking them on to the end! A terrific book for a master's or advanced undergraduate course in theories or in multicultural counseling." -Sharon Horne, The University of Memphis "The strength of this text is that it integrates multicultural issues into each chapter and utilizes multicultural examples to explore different theories. This integration is coupled with the specific discussion of multicultural theory as a theory in and of itself. The multidimensional approach to multiculturalism champions the current thinking of our time that celebrates an integrative and infused perspective." -Nicole Hill, Idaho State University Package Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Multicultural Perspective with MyHelpingLab at no additional cost to your students!
