Russell Fulmer has interests in psychodynamics, artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary work. His experience includes time in counselor education, medical education, and educational studies. He is a licensed professional counselor.
Counseling and Psychotherapy: Theory & Beyond is the book that our
profession needs, connecting traditional theories to contemporary
approaches. Students will value the basic understanding of
traditional counseling theory, and be introduced to modern
counterparts.
Chapters on personal guiding theory, motivational interviewing,
integrating western and eastern models, trauma-informed and
neuro-informed counseling, artificial intelligence, and the book's
foundational counseling theories, add to the expected knowledge of
every counseling practitioner.
I appreciate the author's pragmatic and applied approach to
traditional and contemporary counseling theory. Students will find
the material immediately relatable and instructors will find the
book helpful in building their classroom instruction."

"This text provides an essential understanding for students
training to be clinicians. As a counselor educator, I value the
emphasis on Realism, Innovation, and Integration throughout the
text. The focus on and integration of CACREP provides grounding in
curricula. Additionally, the incorporation of modern thought and
innovation in the research and experience realms provides cutting
edge theories and ways to incorporate them in today's ever-changing
world. Finally, I want to focus on some of the research
incorporated into this textbook. The pervasiveness of trauma in
clinical work necessitates that there be significant focus on
trauma-informed care. This book presents a pertinent and innovative
chapter on trauma-informed care that is accessible for students and
helps to employ practical tools for working with trauma in session.
Additionally, the focus on integrating neuroscience is imperative
in training counselors and advancing the field. It is only through
informing the practitioners of tomorrow that counseling as a field
can advance. This text is a must-have for masters programs and PhD
programs alike as the depth and breadth are pertinent to several
developmental levels of training."

"Dr. Fulmer's work attempts to expand the ways in which we
understand the incredible work counselors offer their clients
through the utilization of counseling theory, but also through
biopsychosocial factors that impact the counseling relationship and
process. Moving beyond traditional theory-based course work, and
expanding counselors' understanding of how counseling works, is
imperative for anyone entering the field."

"Dr. Fulmer's book, Counseling and Psychotherapy: Theory and
Beyond, offers a contemporary look at counseling by reviewing
theories, counseling frameworks, and social influences that have
direct impact on both the client and counseling relationship. This
book aligns with the CACREP standards and pushes the profession
forward by expanding one's understanding of today's clients."
