INTERVIEWS WITH BRIEF THERAPY EXPERTS

Imagine sitting in as some of the most innovative and influential people in the psychotherapy field discuss their ideas and respond to probing questions. The opportunity is in hand! Interviews With Brief Therapy Experts is a compilation of 12 conversations with Steve de Shazer, John Weakland, Insoo Kim Berg, Scott Miller, Bill 0'Hanlon, Michael White, Donald Meichenbaum, Karl Tomm, Paul Watzlawick, Bob Goulding, and others. The interviews were conducted to explore technical, theoretical, and ethical aspects of the theory and practice of brief therapy, the "conversation" or interview format allowing a give-and-take spontaneity that is especially congenial for talking about "talking therapy". The author, himself a well-known brief therapy expert, conducts these probing interviews and the results are candid, articulate, and informative. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in brief or time-sensitive therapy.
