  The third edition is a continuation of a highly successful text for mental health professionals embarking on training in pyschotherapy. Since its first publication in 1979, it has carved out a niche for itself and has proved very useful to the new trainee in the field. All the chapters have been throughly updated to take into account developments in the psychotherapies since the mid-1980s. The first chapter by Jerome Frank has achieved the status of a classic and remains untouched. Two new chapters have been added - a scholarly contribution on ethical aspects of psychotherapy by the American academic Professor Byram Karasu and an authoritative chapter on behavioural psychotherapy by Dr Lynne Drummond of St George's Hospital Medical School, London.

  Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition of this highly popular introduction features two new chapters, one on brief, focal psychotherapy and another on child therapy. As in the first edition, the contributors each take a particular form of psychotherapy and describe its goals, techniques, and applications, using a down-to-earth approach that blends theory with practical aspects. From reviews of the first edition: An excellent book....Could not be done better in a brief presentation. --American Journal of Psychiatry. A smoothly edited and technically well-produced synopsis of psychotherapeutic techniques....Useful for senior medical students and junior residents seeking a rapid overview. --Hospital Community Psychiatry.
