Counseling and Psychotherapy: Current and Future Trends

The first book, Which Psychotherapy? (see record 1997-09094-000) calls on eight distinguished practitioners to respond to 12 questions regarding theories of counseling and psychotherapy. The second book, The Future of Counselling and Psychotherapy (see record 1997-09097-000) includes 10 chapters, also written by eminent practitioners, who were asked by the editors to write about the future of counseling with regard to professional issues, developing or diminishing approaches, and practical and philosophical issues. In this review, I will briefly summarize and critique the content of each book, then I will draw conclusions from the books as a pair. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
