The Compleat Therapist (JOSSEY BASS SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE SERIES) - Hardcover

"Jeffrey Kottler has taken on a daunting challenge to examine the chaotic field of psychotherapy and abstract 'what works.' He makes his survey with wit, humility and clinical sophistication." --James F.T. Bugental, past president, California State Psychological Association "Addressed to therapists but of interest to clients as well....Kottler anticipates the discovery of an integrated theory of therapy that will connect the essence of diverse methodologies, much as Newton's discoveries unified pre-seventeenth-century theories of physics."

How can therapists practice so differently, yet achieve similar results? Jeffrey Kottler identifies the traits all good therapists have in common and combines the most effective healing practices into one coherent framework. He also shows how to integrate these characteristics into your own practice.
