Key Feature CASE APPROACH TO COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY, 7e, International Edition, brings together more than 20 outside practitioners who are experts in their fields to apply their particular theory to one single client--Ruth. By applying each theory to the same client, Dr. Corey helps readers conceptualize the differences among theoretical models.

Dialogue between the consulting therapist and the client offers a comprehensive picture of how consultants apply their theory to Ruth's case. The CD-ROM FOR INTEGRATIVE COUNSELING shows Gerald Corey working with Ruth, using various theoretical models and techniques. It includes discussion and commentary by Dr. Corey, explaining important concepts and incorporating a process dialogue discussing why a particular approach was used with Ruth in the session. The Expert Theory Case Analysis Website enables students to practice applying various approaches to a range of simulated cases in an interactive format. Students can conceptualize three different cases from a range of theoretical approaches, listen to segments of a clinical interview, link to different theory websites, and participate in a theories/case-conceptualization discussion forum. Reflection questions in each chapter encourage readers to apply the material to their personal lives and provide guidelines to them for continuing to work with Ruth in the particular theoretical orientation.
