Text of Note
"Now in a new Third Edition, this landmark text has been completely updated and revised, addressing the full range of basic issues in psychotherapy combined with a complete survey of its elements, processes, current treatment techniques, and phases." "Writing with eloquent simplicity and citing hundreds of contemporary sources, Irving Weiner and Robert Bornstein present conceptual and empirical foundations and offer helpful case examples that illustrate vividly what a therapist might say and do in various circumstances."--Jacket.
