`[This is] a book which accepts and even celebrates the diversity of ideas in the field. It stimulates interest and informs. It stirs up debates, and leaves the reader to continue to think about them… an important book, not to be missed by any serious counselling student or practitioner' - British Journal of Guidance and Counselling
Praise for the Fourth Edition:
`[This] is a well-written, comprehensive core textbook that can be recommended not only to counselling psychology and psychotherapy trainees, to guide them through their training, but also to practising professionals to act as a reference textbook to draw upon when needed' - Stefania Grbcic, Counselling Psychology Review
'Covering history, theory, primary client set and strengths and weaknesses for each of thirteen different approaches, the book makes an excellent starting point for exploring different schools of thought in more detail' - Counsellingresource.com
`This is a very well structured text with thorough coverage and interesting material. The text links theory to practice and offers invaluable knowledge to all professionals and students of various schools of psychotherapy' - lecturer
`A valuable resource for students' - lecturer
`At last! An informative text with some depth. Easily accessible. Extremely useful' - lecturer
Dryden's Handbook of Individual Therapy is now a classic text for trainees in counselling and psychotherapy. This newly updated fifth edition presents a comprehensive overview of the key approaches to individual therapy practice, including three new chapters on narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy and integrative and eclectic approaches.
Written by experts in their own therapeutic fields, the book introduces the principles and methods of individual therapy concisely and accessibly. Following a clearly defined structure, each chapter outlines one approach in detail and provides case examples to illustrate how that approach works in practice.
Each form of therapy is described in terms of:
" its historical context
" the main theoretical assumptions
" the mode of practice
" which clients will benefit most
" the general strengths and limitations of the approach
Further chapters place counselling and psychotherapy in their social context, explore training and supervision and relate research to individual therapy practice.
Dryden's Handbook of Individual Therapy, Fifth Edition is designed for those in training in counselling, psychotherapy, counselling psychology and other helping professions such as nursing, social work and education. It will be invaluable for novice therapists looking for an overall picture of individual therapy practice, as well as for experienced therapists interested in learning about alternative approaches.
Windy Dryden currently works at Goldsmiths College where he is Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies as well as being the programme co-ordinator of the MSc in Rational-Emotive & Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and the Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Informative and Contextual: It does what it says it will do!,
This review is from: Dryden's Handbook of Individual Therapy (Paperback)
This book is eesential reading for those wanting a detailed overview of counselling and psychotherapy. I bought it myself to get this overview as I was exploring the field and I wasn't disappointed. The author presents a clear historical perspective to counselling and psychotherapy and there are detailed chapters on all of the main approaches. Personally, I love this book. It helped me draw conclusions about the right direction for my own education and training in psychotherapy and counselling and helped me set the approach I have chosen in context. As the book sets this as one of its goals, I couldn't have asked for anything more.

This review is from: Dryden's Handbook of Individual Therapy (Paperback)
I bought this book as part of my study in the field of psycho-hypnotherapy. It is an excellent book. However, as I am dyslexic I looked for the audio version of the book, which I could not unfortunately find. I find it disappointing that scientific, and social science books are rare to find in audio version. I appreciate it immensely if anybody could help.
