Essential textbook for training in psychotherapy and counseling theory.
Reflecting the latest trends, we have refined the content and structure!

"Modern Psychotherapy and Counseling Theory," the representative work of Professor Emeritus Kwon Seok-man of the Department of Psychology at Seoul National University and a long-standing core textbook in psychology education, is now in its second edition, offering even more in-depth content and a more systematic structure.

This book systematically organizes the core concepts of psychotherapy and counseling theory, and has consistently earned the trust of a wide range of readers, from beginners new to counseling to experienced professionals.

In particular, the second edition has been reorganized and core theories have been supplemented to reflect recent trends and changes in the fields of psychotherapy and counseling.
In particular, the theoretical spectrum has been expanded by newly including ‘Transactional Analysis Therapy’ in Chapter 11.
Transactional analysis is a theory that comprehensively explains human psychological structure and communication styles and suggests specific and practical treatment techniques. It is used in various fields, including counseling, education, organizations, and religious communities.

『Modern Psychotherapy and Counseling Theories (2nd Edition)』 broadly covers 14 major psychotherapy theories, including psychoanalysis, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, family therapy, and transpersonal psychotherapy. It comprehensively covers each theory's historical background, personality structure, understanding of pathology, treatment techniques, practical application cases, and evaluation items.
At the end of each chapter, 'Thoughts for Self-Analysis' and 'Further Reading' are included to help students engage in self-reflection and practical thinking.

Professor Kwon Seok-man, who has been researching psychology and nurturing future generations for over 30 years at the Department of Psychology at Seoul National University, is recognized as a psychologist who encompasses both theory and practice.
This book is a culmination of his extensive research and educational experience, and has established itself as a standard text that sets the direction for psychotherapy theory.

"Modern Psychotherapy and Counseling Theory (2nd Edition)", which balances the theory and practice of psychology, will continue to be a trusted learning standard in counseling psychology education.
Moreover, it will serve as a core textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in counseling psychology, as well as a practical guide for clinicians, counselors, and educators seeking to understand the overall theory of psychotherapy.
