Dalla quarta di copertina:

A much needed resource for applying solution-focused brief therapy techniques

“About a decade ago, a new approach appeared on the horizon of psychotherapy. This simple approach, variously called solution-oriented, solution-focused, strength-based, and competence-based therapy empowers clients, reenergizes burned-out and discouraged therapists, and happens to be a good fit with the demands of today’s managed care environment. The pioneers in this work provided the bare bones of a theory and methods which, by now, many therapists have learned.
“In this comprehensive and exhaustive work, a second generation of solution-based therapists go beyond the basics and extend the therapy to the treatment of domestic violence, chronic and severe mental illness, grief, school problems, and many other serious problems that at first glance seemed beyond the reach of such a simple method. Do you want to reduce the length of or necessity for hospitalization? Do you want to reduce the waiting list at your agency? Do you want to learn about the latest theoretical developments or research? It’s all here. Check it out.”
—BILL O’HANLON, author or coauthor of In Search of Solutions, A Brief Guide to Brief Therapy, A Field Guide to Possibility Land, Rewriting Love Stories, and Shifting Contexts

“After seeing videotapes of the many ‘worried well’ clients in my practice, therapists attending my workshops frequently ask the ‘what about’ questions. What about working with domestic violence cases? What about working with court-ordered cases? What about working with the chronically mentally ill? At last, answers to all these questions, and in one place, the Handbook of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Try it, you’ll like it!”
—MICHELLE WEINER-DAVIS, author or coauthor of Divorce Busting, In Search of Solutions, and Fire Your Shrink
