Is psychosocial counseling undergoing further development, and if so, what kind of changes are taking place? This book describes recent concepts, methods, approaches, and theories of psychosocial counseling. It illustrates to what extent these changes connect with previous modifications, where they build upon them, and where they forge new paths. It also discusses the impact that these new developments have on practice and whether they are actually applied there. Among other things, classical psychotherapeutic approaches, various stress and coping paradigms, concepts of self-efficacy, the systems theory approach, and life-world orientation are examined, analyzed, and described. The analysis is based on a clear matrix concerning the understanding of disorders, methods, and goals. This book repeatedly highlights the changes as well.
