From the dust jacket: "Thirty-five years ago, Don Ford and Hugh Urban, to the acclaim of critics worldwide, presented the psychotherapeutic community with its first systematic comparative analysis of all major psychotherapeutic theories. Since then, psychotherapy has experienced sweeping changes. The number of recognized therapeutic approaches now stands at over 400. Pressured by a results-minded public and increasingly budget-conscious insurers, today's therapists rarely adhere strictly to one approach; instead, they borrow freely from 'whatever works.' But, in the face of such a whirlwind of theories, jargon, and methodologies, how does one begin to decide what really works? Enter Contemporary Models of Psychotherapy, Second Edition. This thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of Ford and Urban's 1963 classic does more than identify and compare today's most widely used approaches to psychotherapy. It provides therapists with a powerful analytical tool for looking beneath the surface of theories and for answering such crucial questions as: How are the different therapeutic theories similar and dissimilar? How can I tell a sound one from a faulty one? How do I decide which approach is more effective? Can different approaches be used for different problems? Can I successfully combine different approaches, and if so, how? In Section I, the authors explore the nature of theory construction and develop a rigorous analytical framework for comparing therapeutic systems. Representing a person as a unified structural/functional system, the framework interrelates all key biological, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental aspects of human development and change. In Section II, Ford and Urban group the 400 approaches into eight families on the basis of their underlying metaphysical and existing logical assumptions: psychoanalytic; object relations, self-psychology, and interpersonal; humanistic/existential (including experiential, gestalt, and person-centered); behavioral; cognitive; cognitive-behavioral and skill training; behavioral medicine and health; and eclectic integrative. They then analyze exemplars of each approach in terms of core metaphysical and epistemological issues, conceptual models (aspects of humans emphasized), propositional models (dynamics of change and maintenance of stable patterns of functioning), and therapeutic procedures. Section III is devoted to consideration of the similarities and dissimilarities of the different approaches and their implications for the future development of psychotherapy. Providing the information and tools for making informed decisions about today's most influential therapeutic systems, Contemporary Models of Psychotherapy, Second Edition is an important resource for all mental health students, practitioners, and educators.".
