psychotherapy textbook?

Posted by alexandra_k on November 18, 2004, at 20:12:30

Can anyone reccomend a good psychotherapy textbook? One that explains the theory behind different types of therapy (especially existential, humanistic, and different varieties of psychodynamic).

The chunkier and more info packed the better.
A good bibliography or reference list for further reading is helpful too.

Ta.

There is a four volume set that I found to be extrememly helpful. It is divided into Cognitive/Behavioral interventions; Humanistic/Existential; Psychodynamic; and Integrative. It's quite pricy ($600 hardcovers and $300 softcovers), so hopefully a library will have it. I recently recommended that our school's Psych. Dept. either relocate them from the library to our dept. or purchase their own set. I added it to my wish list as a "someday maybe, might make a good graduation gift" kind of thing.

"Comprehensive Handbook of Psychotherapy, 4 Volume Set"
