DEVELOPMENTAL COUNSELING AND THERAPY

DEVELOPMENTAL COUNSELING AND THERAPY

A Word From the Authors

3-27125

A. Ivey / M. Ivey J. Myers / T. Sweeney

We felt the need for a practical lifespan development text oriented specifically for the counseling and therapy field. Our main goal—to integrate developmental theory into the interview—was achieved by using wellness, positive psychology, and major lifespan theories as practical examples and transcripts. Throughout the text students will learn how to assess individual cognitive/emotional developmental styles and develop treatment plans for diverse clients of all ages. Application chapters give students the opportunity to use DSM-IV-TR categories to learn to integrate spiritual issues appropriately and to work with early memories. Students compile a final Portfolio of Competence to show that they have mastered 14 general objectives and are ready to apply developmental theory to their own practice.

Promoting Wellness Over the Lifespan

This text combines developmental counseling and therapy (DCT) theory with wellness theory and positive psychology to provide a foundation for tackling lifespan transitions and developmental issues. Students use case studies, transcripts, and exercises to learn how the major theories relate to actual practice.
