'This is an accessible guide book about the different psychotherapy approaches and how they can be used to counsel patients. Adrian Pennington, a counselling psychologist, takes us through 12 of the most well-known and most used methods and explains exactly what they are and how to use them in practice. I liked the examples he uses for each method and also the fact that he gives the student extra reading on each approach so if you are particularly interested in an approach you have recommended texts to explore.
Good basic book that provides sufficient information on the mainstream approaches
A good basic foundation to give a flavour of the methodology under consideration.
The book contains many of the author's personal opinions, some of which are misleading e.g. p.95 paragraph 3.
This institution provides a a set of Integrative Courses with a growing reputation especially for quality and rigor.
