Summary:

Offers teachers, students, practitioners and researchers a compendium of research and practice techniques in the field of humanistic psychotherapies. In addition to the editors' overview of the history, defining characteristics, and evolution of humanistic psychotherapies, contributors illustrate significant research results and document the effectiveness of major humanistic therapeutic approaches, including client-centered, Gestalt, existential and experiential. It is argued that these approaches are equivalent, and in many cases, superior to others in treating a wide range of psychopathology. Contributors offer guidelines for practice and introduce methods for working with an increasingly difficult, diverse, and complex range of individuals, couples, families, and groups.
