Summary

The first book designed to teach the developing practitioner the core concepts and skills of short-term work, The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies has been revised and significantly enhanced in this second edition. A new section addresses critical issues common to all models of psychotheraphy and provides a detailed review of motivational interviewing, a technique focused on increasing patient motivation and openness to change. Also new to this edition is a companion DVD, which provides master clinicians' insights and experience for five brief therapies-cognitive (Beck), behavioral (Foa), solution-focused (Steenbarger), interpersonal (Stuart), and dynamic (Levenson)-illustrating the essential techniques in a concrete, compelling way.
