The Practice of Brief Psychotherapy

The revised edition of this book presents an eclectic approach to brief psychotherapy, which advocates the use of any techniques that produce results rather than simply espousing a particular therapeutic method. It presents a clear rationale for practicing brief psychotherapy, walking the clinician through the entire process, from initial interview to post-therapy considerations. It frames the practice of brief psychotherapy in context with managed care requirements and includes appraisals of the latest research on evaluation techniques, treatment guidelines, efficacy, and validated therapies.
