In a way the book reflects, in its own style and contents, the subject it is about. Eclectic therapy is certainly a hybrid of many strains of influence; it is more diverse in its structures, theories, and techniques than any other therapeutic orientation. Still, eclectic therapy does have a definite consistency and coherency that I hope will be clearly revealed in this book. The plan of the book is as follows. In Part I, I will present the arguments and evidence that there is a modern trend toward eclecticism among therapists and then in Part II, tie this trend into the historical tradition of functionalism. Both the common features of clinical func- tionalism and the specific ideas and methods of James, Janet, Burrow, Taft, and Thorne are presented. I believe it will be a revelation to many readers to see the contemporary significance of the therapies practiced by these eclectic pioneers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283479912599,"sku":"9781468411607","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781468411607.webp?v=1769305098","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modern-eclectic-therapy-a-functional-orientation-to-counseling-and-psychotherapy-including-a-twelve-month-manual-for-therapists-9781468411607","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
