Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy, now in its sixth edition, places a fresh emphasis on wellness both in concept and in practice. Written with the practitioner in mind, this text provides a definitive overview of the theory and practice of individual psychology based on the work of both Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. The sixth edition retains the clarity, focus, and practicality of the previous editions and incorporates research, methods, and techniques to illustrate the usefulness of the Adlerian approach with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in settings with individuals, groups, and couples. Parent education, career counseling, lifestyle assessment and counseling, and clinical diagnosis and psychotherapy are all discussed, as are applications for working with clients of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and gender orientations. Neuroscience concepts and methods are described in case examples that illustrate their effectiveness across the lifespan. Readers will also find clinical examples from lifestyle assessment and family counseling meetings, as well as tables and figures that augment the activities and review questions included with each chapter. The sixth edition of Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy is masterful in its scholarship and thought-provoking analysis. Providing solid theory and practice, the text is a first-rate addition to the Adlerian and therapeutic literature. Written in a clear and engaging style, Sweeney makes rich and compelling material accessible to students and experienced practitioners alike. As an up-to-date resource, the work reflects the latest trends in Adlerian thought, all while maintaining enduring value as a classic in counseling and psychotherapy.--Arthur J.

This edition, with its emphasis on the wheel of wellness and the indivisible self wellness model, its timely integration of perspectives from neuroscience, and its attention to cultural imperatives, demonstrates the value of Adler's work in individual, group, career, couples, and family counseling, with the road from psychopathology to wellness clearly marked every step of the way. This is not just for Adlerian counselors; it is a book that can inform best practices in all counseling models.--James Robert Bitter, EdD, NCC, professor of counseling and human services, East Tennessee State UniversityThe adage that some things get better with time is applicable to the sixth edition of Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy.
