This text is so thorough and so complete on so many different forms of therapy that it will certainly aid in my teaching.

Dr. Sapp has written a comprehensive resource for mental health professionals and for those students planning to enter the profession. It is an updated reference of contemporary counseling and therapeutic models and includes relevant research and references all in one volume!>

Sapp discusses the often subtle and sometimes surprisingly sharp differences between theories frequently regarded as being very similar...presents the reader with a unifying framework within which to evaluate each theory...is appropriate for use with master's-level students in counseling psychology.
