Synopsis: The textbook is more tightly organized. Every chapter leads with refined learner objectives. To help readers immediately grasp the theories, key terms are defined very early in each chapter. Based on reviewer passion for diversity and spirituality, new sections and content are integrated into all of the 12 major theory chapters. Each chapter now includes sections titled (a) cultural sensitivity, (b) gender and sexuality, and (c) spirituality. Neuroscience is also a new feature. Although the text continues to focus on nonmedical approaches to counseling and psychotherapy, information on the brain is included throughout, via a feature called the "Brain Box." New content is distributed throughout the text. There are over 250 new, cutting edge citations. These citations address a wide range of issues, including the latest reviews and meta-analyses on the evidence-based status of specific counseling and psychotherapy approaches. The end of every chapter includes a list of key terms.
