If you are wanting to get an introduction to some popular therapeutic approaches, this is an excellent book. I have tried to find resources like this that are beginner-friendly, well-structured, and neutral to help me compare/contrast modalities and this is it.

Each chapter on a modality is written by a practitioner with knowledge on that modality. The voice/writing changes in each chapter (some are more dry, others are more personable), but the organization is generally the same. There are 3 chapters at the end about diversity, professional development, and research.

For folks like me in the US, it is a UK-based book, so be aware that the language, references, resources, organizations, and laws they discuss are not super relevant. Nonetheless, the content is applicable.

I’d recommend this for beginner therapists or experienced therapists wanting to explore other modalities and understand more about the approach’s history, theory, practice, and ideal clients.

This is a brilliant book that provides an understandable overview of 23 different therapies. The therapies range from existential to cognitive to personal construct or REBT or reality or Primal Integration etc . Most therapies add a unique lens of viewing people and how their problems originate or can be solved. The chapters are structured excellently with origination, theory, practice and case studies elucidating the basic mechanism and technique very cogently . Reading it is a pleasurable experience, each chapter stands on its own , but you can also contrast with other therapies and techniques to get an overall sense. This should stand in good stead for all in the counseling/ helping profession.
