The book was well laid out, with good examples. I was able to put together a coherent picture of what I was experiencing, and began to put my experiences in a better perspective. Although not everything in the book pertained to my relationship, it certainly illuminated many aspects of what I was feeling and what I ultimately gained the courage to do.

The BIBLE of group therapy texts! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Plain and simple, Yalom's seminal text on group therapy is a MUST for anyone wishing to perform therapy in this format. While he comes from a Gestalt standpoint, I feel he remains fairly objective in both his recommendations and observations from his experience. He does a good job at incorporating the latest research to back up his viewpoints as well. His examples are clear and thought-provoking, and he spells out everything in an easy to understand manner. He himself has said that he's more of a writer than a psychologist (and I believe him after seeing his therapy videos!). I learned so much from this book that I don't know where to begin. With every sentence came an "a ha" moment for me! *Note: Keep a highlighter in hand while you read.* Even though its breadth is fairly daunting (with almost 700 pages), Theory & Practice is WELL worth the read....and re-read. I've referred to it repeatedly throughout my experience running groups. Can't recommend this one highly enough.

Editorial Review:

In this completely revised and updated fifth edition of group psychotherapy’s standard text, Dr. Yalom and his collaborator present the most recent developments in the field, drawing on nearly a decade of new research as well as their broad clinical wisdom and expertise. Among the significant new topics: Online therapy Specialized groups Ethnocultural diversity Trauma Managed care Plus hundreds of new references and clinical vignettes

Received book two days after I ordered it. Book was plastic-wrapped and in excellent condition. Would definitely buy from here again; this was a great buying experience.

Editorial Review:

Since the initial publication of this breakthrough work, motivational interviewing (MI) has been used by countless clinicians. Theory and methods have evolved apace, reflecting new knowledge on the process of behavior change, a growing body of outcome research, and the development of new applications within and beyond the addictions field. Extensively rewritten, this revised and expanded second edition now brings MI practitioners and trainees fully up to date. William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick explain how to work through ambivalence to facilitate change, present detailed guidelines for using their approach, and reflect on the process of learning MI. Chapters contributed by other leading experts then address such special topics as MI and the stages-of-change model, applications in medical, public health, and criminal justice settings, and using the approach with groups, couples, and adolescents.

2 of 10 people found this review helpful.

The book looked as if it had been wet at some point. I did not get the Psych Lab. I could have paid the same price for a new book at the college bookstore. The only reason I did not send back is I needed the book for class.
Also I tried to order another book and the credit card had not been activated. I tried for several days to re-order but was unable to.
Very disappointed with the service. The book was advisted as New but looked used.

Very pleased with speedy delivery 4 out of 5 stars.

This book changed the way I view the World 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Ok, this is the big one! Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" is a revolution in the field of Anthropology of Religion. His lucid study of Mythology has literally changed the way the world views ITSELF. Ok I'm sorry I don't want to overstate things, but I don't think I am. If you read this book and actually understand what he is saying you wont be the same.

Campbell has found the creative archtypes found throughout history in the mythologies of all cultures. There is an excellent blend of classical psychology as well as Occidental and Oriental Mythology references.

If you have never read Joseph Campbell and you love Mythology BUY THIS BOOK! Buy the POWER OF MYTH and watch the video with Bill Moyers.

Joseph Campbell is the best.

Editorial Review:

Originally written by Campbell in the '40s-- in his pre-Bill Moyers days -- and famous as George Lucas' inspiration for "Star Wars," this book will likewise inspire any writer or reader in its well considered assertion that while all stories have already been told, this is *not* a bad thing, since the *retelling* is still necessary. And while our own life's journey must always be ended alone, the travel is undertaken in the company not only of immediate loved ones and primal passion, but of the heroes and heroines -- and myth-cycles -- that have preceded us.

Editorial Review:

For the 75th anniversary, a new edition of the seminal work with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Menand.

Civilization and Its Discontents may be Sigmund Freud's best-known work. Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer ultimate questions: What influences led to the creation of civilization? How did it come to be? What determines its course? In this seminal volume of twentieth-century thought, Freud elucidates the contest between aggression, indeed the death drive, and its adversary eros. He speaks to issues of human creativity and fulfillment, the place of beauty in culture, and the effects of repression.

Louis Menand, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Metaphysical Club, contributor to The New Yorker, and professor of English at Harvard University, reflects on the importance of this work in intellectual thought and why it has become such a landmark book for the history of ideas.

Not available in hardcover for decades, this beautifully rendered anniversary edition will be a welcome addition to readers' shelves.

A disappointment, but good for masters students 2 out of 5 stars.
8 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I am taking a masters course that reviews the major theories of counseling, and this is the one and only book required for that course. I have the 7th edition, but he 8th is very similar. I am sorry to report that this book, while a good starting point for a master's student who is required to do outside research for papers, etc., is poorly and unevenly written and rarely does justice to the topic being presented. In particular, most of my fellow students thought the presentation of Gestalt therapy and Jung's analytical psychology were very poorly presented and did not give the reader an understanding of how these psychotherapies actually worked. A few others thought the chapter on Adlerian psychotherapy was fairly bad, although I don't think the theory itself is particularly intersting so who cares (my opinion, obviously).

I thought the chapter on Person-centered therapy was good, but this is not surprising as most American therapists prefer Rogers so it is unlikely to be given short shrift.

In general, I would NOT recommend this book unless you are a) a master's student and will be doing further research on these therapies, or 2) you are an intelligent layperson who is interested in a single book that presents all the major therapies and is willing to overlook a fairly bad explanation in roughly 50% of the chapters. I realize that people are interested in self-helping themselves and learning about how to make themselves feel better without resorting to therapy. But really, if you are depressed, neurotic, or just plain miserable, you would be better off seeing a therapist, even for just 6 to 8 weeks, than trying to slog your way thru this dreadful and dry and unrealistic book on the descriptions of various psychotherapies.

If you are at all academic, intelligent, artistic, or introverted, I strongly recommend Jung's Man and His Symbols instead. It will send you on the humanistic path to personal individuation, which is a wholly unexpected personal journey that only YOU can complete. Jung can give you the clues you need to make your life a happy one. On the other hand, this book is just a poor cook book for hapless students who are forced to read it.

Editorial Review:

Used in top counseling, psychology, and social work programs, CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES is the ideal resource to not only help you excel in the course, but also to learn, compare, and apply the major systems of psychotherapy in a way that will be meaningful in your own practice. Each contributor is either an originator or a leading proponent of one of the systems, and each presents the basic principles of the system in a clear and straightforward manner, discussing it in the context of the other systems. Theory chapters include a case example that guides you through the problem, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up process. Accompanying CURRENT PSYCHOTHERAPIES is CASE STUDIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY, each case demonstrates the basic techniques and methods of the theory being illustrated. This edition retains classic case studies by Harold Mosak, Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Arnold Lazarus, and Peggy Papp.

Editorial Review:

This revision of Gerald Corey's best-selling text introduces students to the major theories of counseling (psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, feminist and, NEW to this edition, postmodern approaches) and demonstrates how each theory can be applied to a single case ("Stan"). Reviewed by 27 of the field's leading experts, Corey's Seventh Edition covers the major concepts of counseling theories, shows students how to apply those theories in practice, and helps them learn to integrate the theories into an individualized counseling style. Incorporating the thinking, feeling, and behaving dimensions of human experience, Corey offers an easy-to-understand text that helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models. This book is the center of a suite of products that include a revised student manual, a revised casebook, a companion text, and an all-new CD-ROM.
