The Handbook of Individual Therapy

Once again, the latest edition of the Handbook of Individual Therapy offers a masterful overview of the various approaches to 'healing the psyche' which are available in Britain today. The Handbook puts the different therapeutic traditions in a cultural and historical context, and offers an up-to-date view of the nature of psychotherapy as it is currently practiced. Each chapter uses a standard format which offers the reader a clear pathway through the key issues, and the work is brought alive with in-depth case studies. The Handbook of Individual Therapy continues to be the book that one turns to when looking for a clear introduction to the broad range of talking cures that are  offered in the UK today. Dr Nick Midgley

Dryden and Reeves' Handbook freshly maps the current status of psychotherapy in the UK. It is a compendium that can serve as an excellent reference point for an academic as well as practitioner. Its depth and breadth extend beyond UK borders and will be very much appreciated by an international reader. It is an exceptional achievement!
