History of Psychotherapy Summary

History of Psychotherapy: Continuity and Change by John C. Norcross

Published 20 years ago, the first edition of History of Psychotherapy (1992) is still considered the most comprehensive and authoritative resource on the subject.

Building on the success of its predecessor, this new edition provides timely updates to reflect both the continuity and change in psychotherapy and features additional theory, research, practice, and training. Focusing on critical turning points, 78 eminent authors examine the impact of social, cultural, and economic factors on the development of psychotherapy. Each chapter highlights the historical roots, current manifestations, and future directions of the field.

New to this edition are discussions on the emergence of multiculturalism, neuroscience, couples therapy, pharmacotherapy, spirituality and religion, and specialized research centers. Scholarly but engaging, comprehensive but accessible, this updated classic will prove ideal for students, practitioners, and libraries alike.

History of Psychotherapy Reviews

Without a doubt, this is the definitive and indispensable resource about psychotherapy. This superb second edition is outstanding in its inclusive updates, its comprehensiveness, and the quality of all the chapters. Evidence-based practice, multicultural approaches, integrative treatments, and relationalucultural influences are but a few of the important additions. Every student, practitioner, educator, and researcher will want to have this edition as the primary text about psychotherapy. -Melba J.T. Vasquez, PhD, ABPP, independent practice, Austin, TX, American Psychological Association President-Elect, 2010

To say that this tome contains a wealth of information is like declaring that Fort Knox houses a fortune in gold bullion. Every responsible psychotherapist needs to know how our field originated, how it developed, where it is today, and how it will probably grow henceforth. This scholarly and well-thought-out book provides all this and more. -Arnold A. Lazarus, PhD, ABPP, The Lazarus Institute, Skillman, NJ

This book provides the most comprehensive description of the history of psychotherapy that exists under one cover. The editors have collected an impressive group of authors to present the major developments that have occurred in the field of psychotherapy over the past 100 years. It should become a classic in the literature and can conveniently complement courses in psychotherapy theory and practice as well as in the history of psychology. -Contemporary Psychology

This volume is an extraordinary, comprehensive compendium of the history of psychotherapy by outstanding experts in the field of psychotherapeutic theory, research, practice, education, and training. It will be rewarding reading for anyone interested in any aspect of psychotherapy. -Judd Marmor, MD, Franz Alexander Professor of Psychiatry, Emeritus, University of Southern California School of Medicine

As this book makes clear, the field has undergone a remarkable transformation and flowering during the past century. The whole story is here, told by many of the most eminent American psychologistupsychotherapists. A notable achievement of which clinical psychology can be proud. -Robert R. Holt, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, New York University

A comprehensive and stimulating volume on the origins and current status of this exciting field. This book will not only be a useful text for courses in psychotherapy but should be in the hands of any serious practitioner of this field to provide an up-to-date overview with sufficient detail to appeal to the professional as well as the student. -Jerome L. Singer, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Yale University
