| This timely resource book, comprising original chapters and
carefully selected reprints, presents guidelines on how to offer psychotherapy that is
both conscientiously managed and appropriate and sensitive to client needs. The
author offers an overview of the current field of brief psychotherapies and examines the
various issues that can advance or thwart efficient treatment. Using numerous case
examples from his own practice, he describes several models of brief
psychotherapy—single session, time-limited, Eriksonian approaches—that are well
suited for improving quality while containing costs. He addresses diagnostic issues
of clients with so-called personality disorders and suggests second-order interventions
for some patients who are stalled in therapy. Available from NASW Press by special
arrangement with the publisher, Jossey-Bass. |
