Humanistic Psychotherapies Handbook of Research and Practice

Humanistic Psychotherapies offers readers an outstanding compendium of the latest research and practice techniques in this important field. In addition to the editors' comprehensive overview of the history, defining characteristics, and evolution of humanistic psychotherapies, leading experts illustrate significant research results in the last decades and document the effectiveness of major humanistic therapeutic approaches, including client-centered, Gestalt, existential, and experiential. The research presented shows these approaches to be equivalent and, in many cases, superior to others in treating a wide range of psychopathology. Contributors also offer guidelines for practice and introduce innovative and sophisticated methods for working with an increasingly difficult, diverse, and complex range of individuals, couples, families, and groups.Cain, David J. is the author of 'Humanistic Psychotherapies Handbook of Research and Practice', published 2001 under ISBN 9781557987877 and ISBN 1557987874.
