Without a doubt, this is the definitive and indispensable resource about psychotherapy.

Evidence-based practice, multicultural approaches, integrative treatments, and relationalùcultural influences are but a few of the important additions. Every student, practitioner, educator, and researcher will want to have this edition as the primary text about psychotherapy." —Melba J.T. Vasquez, PhD, ABPP, independent practice, Austin, TX, American Psychological Association President-Elect, 2010"To say that this tome contains a wealth of information is like declaring that Fort Knox houses a fortune in gold bullion. Every responsible psychotherapist needs to know how our field originated, how it developed, where it is today, and how it will probably grow henceforth. This scholarly and well-thought-out book provides all this and more." —Arnold A. Lazarus, PhD, ABPP, The Lazarus Institute, Skillman, NJ"This book provides the most comprehensive description of the history of psychotherapy that exists under one cover. The editors have collected an impressive group of authors to present the major developments that have occurred in the field of psychotherapy over the past 100 years. It should become a classic in the literature and can conveniently complement courses in psychotherapy theory and practice as well as in the history of psychology." —Contemporary Psychology"This volume is an extraordinary, comprehensive compendium of the history of psychotherapy by outstanding experts in the field of psychotherapeutic theory, research, practice, education, and training. It will be rewarding reading for anyone interested in any aspect of psychotherapy." —Judd Marmor, MD, Franz Alexander Professor of Psychiatry, Emeritus, University of Southern California School of Medicine"As this book makes clear, the field has undergone a remarkable transformation and flowering during the past century. The whole story is here, told by many of the most eminent American psychologistùpsychotherapists. A notable achievement of which clinical psychology can be proud." —Robert R. Holt, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, New York University"A comprehensive and stimulating volume on the origins and current status of this exciting field. This book will not only be a useful text for courses in psychotherapy but should be in the hands of any serious practitioner of this field to provide an up-to-date overview with sufficient detail to appeal to the professional as well as the student." —Jerome L. Singer, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Yale University
