closest to

"An informative and easy-to-read introduction distinguishes
psychotherapy from counseling and expounds on the important role of
theory in the field today. With over 1200 pages, this two-volume
source... will undoubtedly prove useful for students in graduate or
undergraduate psychology courses and counseling education
programs... Also included is a chronology to help readers place
each theory in a historical context; this is extremely useful for
beginning professionals and students in their first years of study
to assist in setting the backdrop for the evolution of
psychotherapy theories... This title is highly
recommended."
*ARBA*
"...this authoritative, two-volume work is the first encyclopedia
to trace the evolution of theory in counseling and psychotherapy.
...The focus on theory makes this work unique. It complements
broader works like the APA Handbook of Counseling Psychology, ed.
by Nadya A. Fouad et al. (CH, Dec′12, 50-2364). Especially
helpful for undergraduates, each of the 20 general
categories/schools listed in the reader’s guide has an overview
entry in the encyclopedia. Also useful is the well-written,
informative introduction, in which Neukrug differentiates
counseling from psychotherapy and clarifies the meaning of theory
in the context of the material covered in the encyclopedia. ...
this set is a must-have for libraries supporting programs in
counseling or clinical psychology. ...Summing Up: Essential.
Lower-level undergraduates and above;
professionals/practitioners."
