"Psychotherapy is widely accepted as a legitimate and beneficial healing practice
in the United States and in many other countries. This book acquaints the emerging
professional with psychotherapy. It introduces the theories of psychotherapy series,
and many of the monographs in the series are accompanied by videos illustrating the
use of theories in action. The book sets the stage in three ways. First, it describes
the historical context. Chapter 2 addresses the following questions: How did psychotherapy
originate and prosper? What are the key developments and who influenced the field?
How did (and does) the cultural context shape the development of psychotherapy as
a healing practice? Second, Chapter 3 discusses the critical question, What role does
theory play in the practice of psychotherapy? As well, the philosophy of science that
forms the basis of various theories is discussed to demonstrate that determining the
relative worth of various theories is problematic. Third, Chapters 4 and 5 review
the research evidence. Psychotherapy is a psychology-based endeavor and, as such,
rests on an empirical base to the extent possible. Psychotherapists should be knowledgeable
about the relevant research and use it as appropriate to ensure that their clients
benefit. Although the review in Chapters 4 and 5 is relatively brief, it addresses
the following questions: Does psychotherapy work? Are some psychotherapies more effective
than others? What do we know about the delivery of psychotherapy in the real world?
How does psychotherapy work? Chapter 6 presents a summary and reiterates the importance
of theory in practice."--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights
