{"product_id":"modern-eclectic-therapy-joseph-hart-9781468411607","title":"Modern Eclectic Therapy: A Functional Orientation to Counseling and Psychotherapy: Including a Twelve-Month Manual for Therapists","description":"This book is a hybrid; it contains theoretical sections and sections de- voted to technique; it attempts to provide a historical perspective and to give a contemporary formulation of theory and practice; and it dis- cusses both practical problems of day-by-day therapy sessions and phil- osophical issues related to the meaning of psychotherapy in modern society. In a way the book reflects, in its own style and contents, the subject it is about. Eclectic therapy is certainly a hybrid of many strains of influence; it is more diverse in its structures, theories, and techniques than any other therapeutic orientation. Still, eclectic therapy does have a definite consistency and coherency that I hope will be clearly revealed in this book. The plan of the book is as follows. In Part I, I will present the arguments and evidence that there is a modern trend toward eclecticism among therapists and then in Part II, tie this trend into the historical tradition of functionalism. Both the common features of clinical func- tionalism and the specific ideas and methods of James, Janet, Burrow, Taft, and Thorne are presented. I believe it will be a revelation to many readers to see the contemporary significance of the therapies practiced by these eclectic pioneers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1468411608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781468411607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Joseph Hart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123850342655,"sku":"9781468411607","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68c35e1c-01ae-4256-a5cb-41c103f57822.jpg?v=1687433249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-eclectic-therapy-joseph-hart-9781468411607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
