Expanded Diversity Sections: Diversity sections in each theory chapter now include practical applications of the theory with specific diverse populations, including individuals from special ethnic/racial groups as well as LGBTQ clients. Expanded sections on specific populations--including African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans/First Nations/Aboriginals, gay men, lesbians, and gay and transgendered youth--provide detailed suggestions, adaptations, and cautions for using a given theory with a specific population.
New Chapter on Trauma-Related Evidence-Based Treatments: A new chapter (Chapter 10) discusses evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatments (CBT), specifically, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused CBT for children. Both approaches are used extensively with clients who have experienced childhood and complex trauma.
Theory-Specific Case Conceptualization Templates: Each theory chapter now includes a theory-specific case conceptualization outline that students and therapists can use to develop case conceptualizations using a single theory. This conceptualization can be used to create a theory-specific treatment plan. Each chapter also presents a sample theory-specific case conceptualization as part of the case study.
Revised Case Conceptualization and Treatment Plan Forms: The cross-theoretical case conceptualization and treatment plan forms have been revised to be more succinct and easier to use. Digital forms are available for download.
Separate Jungian Chapter: Jungian analysis is now covered in a separate chapter (Chapter 4), and includes a case study.
Practice Exercises: "Try it yourself" exercises throughout the text give students hands-on practice using assessment and intervention techniques.
Questions for Reflection and Class Discussion: Each chapter includes a new section designed to engage students more thoughtfully in the material by promoting personal reflection and class discussion.

Using state-of-the-art pedagogical methods, THEORY AND TREATMENT PLANNING IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY is part of a new generation of textbooks specifically designed to thoughtfully promote student mastery of the material while enabling faculty to easily measure student learning outcomes.
Rather than delivering content in a traditional narrative style, the text engages students in an active learning process that uses outcomes-based pedagogy. More specifically, it introduces counseling and psychotherapy theories using two clinically relevant assignments: theory-informed case conceptualization and theory-specific treatment planning. These assignments empower students to apply theoretical concepts and develop real-world skills as early as possible in their training, resulting in greater and quicker mastery of the material.
The author uses a friendly style to explain concepts in clear and practical language that contemporary students appreciate.
Instructors benefit from the simplicity of having the text and assignments work seamlessly together, thus requiring less time on class preparation and grading. The extensive set of instructor materials--including syllabi templates, detailed PowerPoint® slides, test banks, online lectures, and scoring rubrics designed for accreditation assessment--further reduce educators' workloads.
