Foundations of Counseling and Psychotherapy

"Rather than a 'theory of the week' approach, the Sues focus on 'what works' and what beginning professionals can do to meet the demands of the changing mental health scene. This book presents evidence-based approaches (which are often controversial) in a new, scholarly, interesting, and even comforting way. This resource could serve as a different textbook for the theories course—one with important and practical implications for the future. I recommend it most highly." (Counseling Today, April 2010)

"David and Diane Sue present an up-to-date, authoritative, well-referenced, and well-written overview of the field of psychotherapy in their text Foundations of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Evidence-Based Practices for a Diverse Society. This text would serve as an excellent required course text for a graduate course on psychotherapy techniques for clinical or counseling psychology students or as a text for an advanced undergraduate course for psychology majors intending to pursue graduate studies in clinical psychology. The text's strengths are in the clear writing, the up-to-date research references, and the inclusion of supplemental readings and appendices." (PsycCRITIQUES, 7/29/09)
