This interactive video/workbook package brings the counseling process to life and helps students understand the advantages of developing an integrative style. Students observe Gerald Corey as he works with one client, Ruth, using various theoretical models and techniques. Introductory lectures and process commentary explain what viewers will see and why a particular approach was used. Using this integrated learning package, students can first watch a trained, experienced counselor in action in a video session and can then turn to the corresponding section in the workbook to explore key points through thought-provoking questions, exercises, and activities. Guidelines assist viewers in considering key concepts and techniques they can use in forming their own personal therapeutic styles.
