This extensively updated volume highlights the flourishing evidence base for humanistic approaches, demonstrating that they are equal to or more effective than other therapeutic approaches. In fact, cornerstones of humanistic practice, such as therapist empathy and authentic emotional expression and experience, are essential to promoting positive client outcomes for non-humanistic practitioners as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to a general review of research, the contributors focus on specific approaches, including \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e person-centered therapy, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e gestalt therapy, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e focusing-oriented therapy, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e existential therapy, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e emotion-focused therapy, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e relationship enhancement therapy, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e child-centered play therapy. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Also discussed are important therapist factors and client variables that contribute to effective psychotherapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e New findings are translated into practical guidelines for clinicians. Numerous case examples with vivid client–therapist dialogues illustrate how humanistic principles and approaches can be applied in actual practice—not just with individuals, but also with couples, families, and children.
