By Diane R. Gehart - Theory and Treatment Planning in Counseling and Psychotherapy (2nd Edition) [Paperback] - Essential Guide for Mental Health Professionals & Students | Counseling Techniques, Therapy Strategies & Clinical Practice

using this in my master's level counseling class and it's a great resource. I appreciate the way it is written/organized/formatted. It offers some historical background to the theory, describes the theoretical concepts and framework, gives a case example, a sort of worksheet/guide for applying it in practice, and cultural considerations for each chapter/theory.I *actually* used this and still have it and should crack it open just to refresh myself.This is the most comprehensive treatment planning book I own. I wish I had bought it in my first semester of school. Gehart is a clear and engaging writer. The clinical vignettes are true-to-life. The theoretical summaries are priceless and will save you hours of confusing cross-referencing and reading. If you are involved in psychotherapy, clinical psychology, counseling or even a humanities scholar who is interested in theories of psychology, you should have this book on your reference shelf.This book is excellent. I am using it to study for my MFT license exam. It gives you so much great information. There is so much we didn't learn in school. This book along with her YouTube videos prepared me for the exam.Very good book for beginning masters students as well seasoned clinicians who would like to have references to theories and modalities they be currently trying or interested in trying.I did not find the book helpful.Very frustrated with kindle for mac version. First, I wanted the book to be available for kindle use, which it is not. The kindle for mac version does not scroll, so you can only read half of the page. I had to buy the paperback version.One of the best text books I have ever used to study for my Marriage and Family graduate program. Buy it!
