  • Practice-Ready Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning: For each theory, elegant and straightforward templates for case conceptualization and treatment planning provide real-world guidance for using the specific theory in actual practice. Readers quickly learn how the theory is applied through step-by-step instructions and detailed case studies.

  • Comprehensive Diversity Sections: Each theoretical chapter includes a detailed discussion of how the theory has been used with clients from specific ethnic/racial groups as well as with LGBTQ clients. Specific groups covered include African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic/Latino, Native American/First Nations/Aboriginals, gay, lesbian, and transgendered clients.

  • Research and the Evidence-Base: The text introduces both sides of the evidence-base debate and includes thorough discussions of various forms of research related to specific theories. Two evidence-based treatments, emotionally focused therapy and functional family therapy, are covered in depth.

  • Assessing Student Learning for Accreditation: Instructors will enjoy having streamlined scoring rubrics for text-based assignments that can be used for accreditation by regional bodies as well as specific rubrics for APA, CACREP, COAMFTE, and NASW accreditation.

  • Clinical Utility in Contemporary Contexts: Material is presented for use by clinicians in contemporary practice, including real-world guidance for conceptualizing treatment, developing client goals, and implementing in-session interventions.

  • Accessible Writing Style: The author uses an accessible and at times fun writing style that engages contemporary students, who often remark, “Dr. Gehart’s books are the only ones I read from start to finish—I don’t want to miss a joke.”
