As the most important overview of research findings in psychotherapy for professionals, academics, researchers, and students, this bestselling resource presents authoritative thinking on the pressing questions, issues, and controversies in psychotherapy research and practice today. The 7th edition arise from the need to (a) update the field, and (b) introduce new areas that have become established since the last edition. However, an overriding philosophy of the text will be to retain the tradition and integrity of The Handbook in providing a rigorous and evidence-based text for academics and scientist practitioners.
