"This is a thorough and accessible text that addresses both the development of the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy and their contemporary formulations in theory and practice. A particularly valuable aspect of the book is the clear and thoughtful chapter on integral counseling, an approach often ignored in similar texts. I recommend this book highly."Richard E. Watts, PhD, LPC-S, Texas State University System Regents’ professor and distinguished professor of counseling at Sam Houston State University "The authors provide a text that makes theory accessible and practical by placing each theory into the Weltanschauung of its time, providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of each model’s understanding of personality and personality change and illustrating through case material each theory’s application. They could well have titled their book Theoretical and Applied Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy. This is a readable, useful, integrative approach."Jerome Wagner, PhD, professor, Loyola University, Chicago"Fall, Holden, and Marquis’s textbook offers students and professionals a thorough exploration of counseling theories. Theoretical orientation is the foundation of strong clinical practice, and the authors break down complex theories into easily understandable concepts, easing the transition from theory to practice. There is not another textbook that I would use to teach theories to my students."Stephanie Eberts, PhD, assistant professor of professional practice, Louisiana State University
