Psychotherapy Fundamentals: Complete Guide (Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theories and Practices, #1)

The most comprehensive integrative framework for mastering contemporary psychotherapy — in a single volume.

Modern psychotherapy encompasses dozens of approaches, and practitioners often struggle to build a coherent theoretical orientation. Artem Kudelia, PhD, with over 20,000 hours of clinical and training expertise, presents a unified textbook that integrates nine essential therapy modalities — organized across eleven therapeutic vectors with clinical case studies throughout. Instead of using each method in isolation, this guide teaches you how to combine them into a versatile, holistic framework, tailoring therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client.

The book covers:

- Integrative overview of humanistic, existential, somatic, psychodramatic, psychedelic, provocative, and anti-psychiatric therapy

- Pathopsychological profiling for adapting interventions from the first session

- Techniques from pioneers Carl Rogers, Viktor Frankl, and Stanislav Grof applied to diverse psychological profiles

- Case studies and hands-on exercises for building competence in the most effective psychotherapies used in modern practice

Designed for graduate students, licensed clinicians, educators, and mental health professionals building a theoretical foundation in counseling and psychotherapy — leading to lasting client change.
