Acknowledgments
Every new edition of a book is shaped and improved by the comments of those read-
ers who take time to provide feedback about previous editions. This book is no dif-
ferent, and I have benefited from the suggestions of literally hundreds of my students,
colleagues, and friends. I have been particularly vigilant about getting feedback from
those professors who use Current Psychotherapies as a text, and their comments help
shape each new edition. I also benefited from numerous suggestions from colleagues in
the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of the American Psychological Associa-
tion) during my presidential year and every year since. Barbara Cubic and Frank Dumont
helped with this new edition and made numerous important suggestions, and I’m grate-
ful for the common sense and good advice of Alexander Hancock, a Cengage content
developer, and Julie Martinez, my Cengage product manager.

A new author, Charles Bowman, has been added to the chapter on Gestalt Therapy.
Dr. Bowman has made extensive changes to the previous chapter, making it current and
contemporary. I appreciate his erudite scholarship, especially his thoughtful explanation
of the limits of evidence in the Gestalt tradition. He notes “randomized controlled trials,
which are considered ‘strong evidence’ by researchers, decontextualize the patient, and
bear no resemblance to the clinical situation.”
Helen Verdeli and Myrna Weissman have updated their chapter on Interpersonal
Psychotherapy (IPT) to include a discussion of recent meta-analyses like that of Palpac-
uer and colleagues (2017), who “found IPT to be the most robust of psychotherapeutic
interventions, having the highest increase in response compared to the wait-list condi-
tion.” They also introduce readers to an important new book, Interpersonal Psychother-
apy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Markowitz, 2017).
The chapter on Family Therapy has a new coauthor, Mark Stanton, Provost at
Azusa Pacific University. Mark coauthored the ninth edition of the Goldenberg’s classic
text on Family Therapy, and he updated the Current Psychotherapies chapter on Family
Therapy to include multiple studies from 2016 and 2017, including a discussion of how
family therapists relate to the “unique problems inherent in the multitude of families
today that do not fit the historical model of the intact family.”
I am especially grateful to my good friend Roger Walsh, a visionary polymath, who
retitled and reworked his chapter on contemplative psychotherapies to focus on mind-
fulness and its relevance to all forms of psychotherapy. His new chapter, now titled
“Mindfulness and Other Contemplative Psychotherapies,” is a masterful review of a vast
and ever-growing literature. I found his new discussion of “The Shadow Side of Suc-
cess,” pointing out the problems associated with an unduly enthusiastic rush to embrace
mindfulness in psychotherapy, especially compelling. I’m confident there is no one in
the world better qualified than Roger to write this chapter.
Positive psychology is one of the newest and most exciting developments in contem-
porary psychotherapy, and two bona fide experts—Tayyab Rashid and Martin Seligman—
have updated their chapter on Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) for this new edition of
Current Psychotherapies. Their “Summary of PPT Outcome Studies” is a masterful over-
view of recent research, including seven studies published since 2016.
Working closely with one’s friends is one of the joys of editing a book like this, and
I consider John Norcross and Larry Beutler two of my finest friends. Both are prolific
authors, both are incredibly smart, and both write beautifully. At different times, all
three of us have served as President of the Society of Clinical Psychology, and I appreci-
ate their consummate scholarship and the care they took to update their chapter.
Lillian Comas-Díaz is another cherished friend, and one of the women I most ad-
mire. Lillian is bilingual and bicultural, and she knows more about multicultural psy-
chotherapy than anyone else I know. Her updated chapter addresses the importance of
humility in culturally relevant psychotherapy. In her characteristic way, the first draft of
her revised chapter failed to mention her newest book, Womanist and Mujerista Psychol-
ogies: Voices of Fire, Acts of Courage, co-edited with Thema Bryant-Davis (2016). It is an
important book, and I insisted it be included.

Finally, it was once again a pleasure to work with Ken Pope in an effort to “wrap
things up.” We discuss a discouraging report on The State of Mental Health in Amer-
ica 2017 (Nguyen & Davis, 2017), provide updated numbers for the number of mental
health professionals working in a variety of different disciplines, and discuss the slowly
growing number of states that now allow psychologists with appropriate training to pre-
scribe psychotropic medications. In addition, there is a new discussion of the “Goldwa-
ter rule,” which prohibits many mental health professionals from diagnosing individuals
they have never formally assessed. This vexing issue seems especially relevant after the
2016 presidential election.
In a preface to an earlier edition, Raymond J. Corsini described six features of Cur-
rent Psychotherapies that have helped ensure the book’s utility and popularity. These
core principles have guided the development of each subsequent edition.
1. The chapters in this book describe the most important systems in the current prac-
tice of psychotherapy. Because psychotherapy is constantly evolving, deciding
what to put into new editions and what to take out demands a great deal of
research. The opinions of professors were central in shaping the changes we
have made.
2. The most competent available authors were recruited. Newly established systems
are described by their founders; older systems are covered by those best qualified
to describe them.
3. This book is highly disciplined. Each author follows an outline in which the var-
ious sections are limited in length and structure. The purpose of this feature
is to make it as convenient as possible to compare the systems by reading the
book “horizontally” (from section to section across the various systems) as well
as in the usual “vertical” manner (chapter to chapter). The major sections of
each chapter include an overview of the system being described, its history, a
discussion of the theory of personality that shaped the therapy, a detailed dis-
cussion of how psychotherapy using the system is actually practiced, and an
explanation of the various applications of the approach being described. In
addition, each therapy described is accompanied by a case study illustrating
the techniques and methods associated with the approach. Students interested
in more detailed case examples can read this book’s companion volume, Case
Studies in Psychotherapy (Wedding & Corsini, 2014); the case studies book
presents a exemplar case to accompany each of the core therapy chapters in
Current Psychotherapies. Those students who want to understand psychother-
apy in depth will benefit from reading both Current Psychotherapies and Case
Studies in Psychotherapy.
4. Current Psychotherapies is carefully edited. Every section is examined to make
certain that its contents are appropriate and clear. In the long history of this
text, only one chapter was ever accepted in its first draft. Some chapters have
been returned to their original authors as many as four times before finally being
accepted.

He was driving a figurative car that had got out of control. There was
somebody else inside his head. There was a schizophrenic, double-
tracked locomotive that was running wild and his hand on the throttle
couldn’t slow it down an instant. His mental steering-wheel had
snapped.
Somebody else was thinking for him!
Not quite a human being. Not quite sane, probably, from Kelvin’s
standards. But awfully sane from his own. Sane enough to have
mastered the most intricate principles of non-Euclidean geometry in
the nursery.
The senses get synthesized in the brain into a sort of common
language, a master-tongue. Part of it was auditory, part pictorial, and
there were smells and tastes and tactile sensations that were
sometimes familiar and sometimes spiced with the absolutely alien.
And it was chaotic.
Something like this, perhaps....
“—Big Lizards getting too numerous this season—tame threvvars
have the same eyes not on Callisto though—vacation soon—
preferably galactic—solar system claustrophobic—byanding
tomorrow if square rootola and upsliding three—”
But that was merely the word-symbolism. Subjectively, it was far
more detailed and very frightening. Luckily, reflex had lifted Kelvin’s
finger from the button almost instantly, and he stood there
motionless, shivering slightly.
He was afraid now.
The robot said, “You should not have begun the rapport until I
instructed you. Now there will be danger. Wait.” His eye changed
color. “Yes ... there is ... Tharn, yes. Beware of Tharn.”
“I don’t want any part of it,” Kelvin said quickly. “Here, take this thing
back.”
“Then you will be unprotected against Tharn. Keep the device. It will,
as I promised, ensure your health, fame and fortune, far more
effectively than a—a horoscope.”
“No, thanks. I don’t know how you managed that trick—sub-sonics,
maybe, but I don’t—”
“Wait,” the robot said. “When you pressed that button, you were in
the mind of someone who exists very far in the future. It created a
temporal rapport. You can bring about that rapport any time you
press the button.”
“Heaven forfend,” Kelvin said, still sweating a little.
“Consider the opportunities. Suppose a troglodyte of the far past had
access to your brain? He could achieve anything he wanted.”
It had become important, somehow, to find a logical rebuttal to the
robot’s arguments. “Like St. Anthony—or was it Luther?—arguing
with the devil?” Kelvin thought dizzily. His headache was worse, and
he suspected he had drunk more than was good for him. But he
merely said:
“How could a troglodyte understand what’s in my brain? He couldn’t
apply the knowledge without the same conditioning I’ve had.”
“Have you ever had sudden and apparently illogical ideas?
Compulsions? So that you seem forced to think of certain things,
count up to certain numbers, work out particular problems? Well, the
man in the future on whom my device is focused doesn’t know he’s
en rapport with you, Kelvin. But he’s vulnerable to compulsions. All
you have to do is concentrate on a problem and then press the
button. Your rapport will be compelled—illogically, from his viewpoint
—to solve that problem. And you’ll be reading his brain. You’ll find
out how it works. There are limitations, you’ll learn those too. And the
device will ensure health, wealth and fame for you.”
“It would ensure anything, if it really worked that way. I could do
anything. That’s why I’m not buying!”
“I said there were limitations. As soon as you’ve successfully
achieved health, fame, and fortune, the device will become useless.
I’ve taken care of that. But meanwhile you can use it to solve all your
problems by tapping the brain of the more intelligent specimen in the
future. The important point is to concentrate on your problems before
you press the button. Otherwise you may get more than Tharn on
your track.”
“Tharn? What—”
“I think an—an android,” the robot said, looking at nothing. “An
artificial human ... However, let us consider my own problem. I need
a small amount of gold.”
“So that’s the kicker,” Kelvin said, feeling oddly relieved. He said, “I
haven’t got any.”
“Your watch.”
Kelvin jerked his arm so that his wrist-watch showed. “Oh, no. That
watch cost plenty.”
“All I need is the gold-plating,” the robot said, shooting out a reddish
ray from its eye. “Thank you.” The watch was now dull gray metal.
“Hey!” Kelvin cried.
“If you use the rapport device, your health, fame and fortune will be
assured,” the robot said rapidly. “You will be as happy as any man of
this era can be. It will solve all your problems—including Tharn. Wait
a minute.” The creature took a backward step and disappeared
behind a hanging Oriental rug that had never been east of Peoria.
There was silence.
Kelvin looked from his altered watch to the flat, enigmatic object in
his palm. It was about two inches by two inches, and no thicker than
a woman’s vanity-case, and there was a sunken push-button on its
side.
He dropped it into his pocket and took a few steps forward. He
looked behind the pseudo-Oriental rug, to find nothing except
emptiness and a flapping slit cut in the canvas wall of the booth. The
robot, it seemed, had taken a powder. Kelvin peered out through the
slit. There was the light and sound of Ocean Park amusement pier,
that was all. And the silvered, moving blackness of the Pacific
Ocean, stretching to where small lights showed Malibu far up the
invisible curve of the coastal cliffs.
So he came back inside the booth and looked around. A fat man in a
swami’s costume was unconscious behind the carved chest the
robot had indicated. His breath, plus a process of deduction, told
Kelvin that the man had been drinking.
Not knowing what else to do, Kelvin called on the Deity again. He
found suddenly that he was thinking about someone or something
called Tharn, who was an android.
Horomancy ... time ... rapport ... no! Protective disbelief slid like plate
armor around his mind. A practical robot couldn’t be made. He knew
that. He’d have heard—he was a reporter, wasn’t he?
Sure he was.
Desiring noise and company, he went along to the shooting gallery
and knocked down a few ducks. The flat case burned in his pocket.
The dully burnished metal of his wrist-watch burned in his memory.
The remembrance of that drainage from his brain, and the immediate
replacement burned in his mind. Presently bar whiskey burned in his
stomach.
He’d left Chicago because of sinusitis, recurrent and annoying.
Ordinary sinusitis. Not schizophrenia or hallucinations or accusing
voices coming from the walls. Not because he had been seeing bats
or robots. That thing hadn’t really been a robot. It all had a perfectly
natural explanation. Oh, sure.
Health, fame and fortune. And if—
THARN!
The thought crashed with thunderbolt impact into his head.
And then another thought: I am going nuts!
A silent voice began to mutter insistently, over and over. “Tharn—
Tharn—Tharn—Tharn—”
And another voice, the voice of sanity and safety, answered it and
drowned it out. Half aloud, Kelvin muttered:
“I’m James Noel Kelvin. I’m a reporter—special features, leg work,
rewrite. I’m thirty years old, unmarried, and I came to Los Angeles
today and lost my baggage checks and—and I’m going to have
another drink and find a hotel. Anyhow, the climate seems to be
curing my sinusitis.”
Tharn, the muffled drum-beat said almost below the threshold of
realization. Tharn, Tharn.
Tharn.
He ordered another drink and reached in his pocket for a coin. His
hand touched the metal case. And simultaneously he felt a light
pressure on his shoulder.
Instinctively he glanced around. It was a seven-fingered, spidery
hand tightening—hairless, without nails—and white as smooth ivory.
The one, overwhelming necessity that sprang into Kelvin’s mind was
a simple longing to place as much space as possible between
himself and the owner of that disgusting hand. It was a vital
requirement, but one difficult of fulfilment, a problem that excluded
everything else from Kelvin’s thoughts. He knew, vaguely, that he
was gripping the flat case in his pocket as though that could save
him, but all he was thinking was:
I’ve got to get away from here.
The monstrous, alien thoughts of someone in the future spun him
insanely along their current. It could not have taken a moment while
that skilled, competent, trained mind, wise in the lore of an
unthinkable future, solved the random problem that had come so
suddenly, with such curious compulsion.
Still shielding his face, he went unsteadily into the bedroom and took
the flat case out of his coat pocket. But he didn’t press the button
that would close a mental synapse between two incongruous eras.
He didn’t want to do that again, he realized. More horrible, somehow,
than what was happening now was the thought of reentering that
alien brain.
He was standing before the bureau, and in the mirror one eye looked
out at him between reflected fingers. It was a wild eye behind the
gleaming spectacle-lens, but it seemed to be his own. Tentatively he
took his hand away....
This mirror showed more of Tharn. Kelvin wished it hadn’t. Tharn
was wearing white knee-boots of some glittering plastic. Between
them and the turban he wore nothing whatever except a minimum of
loin-cloth, also glittering plastic. Tharn was very thin, but he looked
active. He looked quite active enough to spring right into the hotel
room. His skin was whiter than his turban, and his hands had seven
fingers each, all right.
Kelvin abruptly turned away, but Tharn was resourceful. The dark
window made enough of a reflecting surface to show a lean, loin-
clothed figure. The feet showed bare, and they were less normal
than Tharn’s hands. And the polished brass of a lamp-base gave
back the picture of a small, distorted face not Kelvin’s own.
Kelvin found a corner without reflecting surfaces and pushed into it,
his hands shielding his face. He was still holding the flat case.
Oh, fine, he thought bitterly. Everything’s got a string on it. What
good will this rapport gadget do me if Tharn’s going to show up every
day? Maybe I’m only crazy. I hope so.
Something would have to be done unless Kelvin was prepared to go
through life with his face buried in his hands. The worst of it was that
Tharn had a haunting look of familiarity. Kelvin discarded a dozen
possibilities, from reincarnation to the déjà vu phenomenon, but—
He peeped through his hands, in time to see Tharn raising a
cylindrical gadget of some sort and leveling it like a gun. That
gesture formed Kelvin’s decision. He’d have to do something, and
fast. So, concentrating on the problem—I want out!—he pressed the
button in the surface of the flat case.
And instantly the teleportation method he had forgotten was perfectly
clear to him. Other matters, however, were obscure. The smells—
someone was thinking—were adding up to a—there was no word for
that, only a shocking visio-auditory ideation that was simply dizzying.
Someone named Three Million and Ninety Pink had written a new
flatch. And there was the physical sensation of licking a twenty-four-
dollar stamp and sticking it on a postcard.
But, most important, the man in the future had had—or would have—
a compulsion to think about the teleportation method, and as Kelvin
snapped back into his own mind and time, he instantly used that
method....
He was falling.
Icy water smacked him hard. Miraculously he kept his grip on the flat
case. He had a whirling vision of stars in a night sky, and the
phosphorescent sheen of silvery light on a dark sea. Then brine
stung his nostrils.
Kelvin had never learned how to swim.
As he went down for the last time, bubbling a scream, he literally
clutched at the proverbial straw he was holding. His finger pushed
the button down again. There was no need to concentrate on the
problem; he couldn’t think of anything else.
Mental chaos, fantastic images—and the answer.
It took concentration, and there wasn’t much time left. Bubbles
streamed up past his face. He felt them, but he couldn’t see them. All
around, pressing in avidly, was the horrible coldness of the salt
water....
But he did know the method now, and he knew how it worked. He
thought along the lines the future mind had indicated. Something
happened. Radiation—that was the nearest familiar term—poured
out of his brain and did peculiar things to his lung-tissue. His blood
cells adapted themselves....
He was breathing water, and it was no longer strangling him.
But Kelvin had also learned that this emergency adaptation could not
be maintained for very long. Teleportation was the answer to that.
And surely he could remember the method now. He had actually
used it to escape from Tharn only a few minutes ago.
