Counseling Theory and Practice

Praise for the Second Edition:“I’ve been using Counseling Theory and Practice by Edward Neukrug in my theory courses, and my students love the textbook. They appreciate the history included in the beginning, the great examples, and the humor throughout. Many of them say it’s just easy to read, and one of them even said each week she can’t wait to get home to read the assignment! I have never heard that from a single student about a textbook. Additionally, their ability to conceptualize using the theories is getting really strong. All around, it’s been a great experience using this book in my courses.“—Laurie Craigen, Ph.D., LMHC-MA, NCC, CCMHC, Assistant Professor, Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine Program, Boston University“I just wanted to say how much I loved our theories textbook, Counseling Theory and Practice. The examples were great and the cases really made the theories come to life. It’s not every day that you read a textbook that truly grasps your attention in a way that this theories book did. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning about the counseling theories. For me, this book rates a 15⁄10!“—Brittany Brown, Student in the Mental Health Counseling Program, Boston University
