Theory and Practice of Counselling and Psychotherapy: A South African Perspective 3rd Edition by Dr. Gerald Corey/Lionel Nicholas/Umesh Bawa

Overview

Incorporating the thinking, feeling and behaving dimensions of human experience, this third South African edition of Corey's best-selling book helps students compare and contrast the therapeutic models expressed in counselling theories.

Theory and Practice of Counselling and Psychotherapy: A South African Perspective introduces students to the major counselling theories and demonstrates how each one can be applied to two cases (‘Stan’ and ‘Bonolo’). Through clear explanations, examples and accessible language, the text demonstrates how to apply theories in practice, and helps South African students develop an individualised, contextualised counselling style.
