Summary:

"History of Psychotherapy: A Century of Change" is presented as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the American Psychological Association as a publication of its Division of Psychotherapy. It offers a retrospective investigation of the roots and the development of psychotherapy from four basic perspectives: theory, research, practice, and training. . . . More than 60 authors focus on the significant events and the crucial links in the development of psychotherapy that have contributed to the current state of knowledge. Together, the chapters describe the sociocultural, political, and economic influences that have shaped the field in the past 100 years. Although the focus is historical, the reader will find significant examination of the current status of the field as well as speculation regarding future directions.
