Description

The author defines very brief therapy as seeing clients only once or twice, with any additional sessions being the client’s choice.This book emphasizes the many approaches that can be used as rapid and effective methods for working with clients. Battino feels that the essence of brief therapy is the expectation of the therapist (which is transmitted to the client one way or another) that only a few sessions will be needed to resolve realistically and satisfactorily the client’s concerns.

The book addresses both new and old ways of doing brief therapy. Some of the new ways include: expectation; the power of pauses; chatting as therapy; poetry; healing language; touch; laughter and others. Some of the old ways include: Gestalt therapy; Bioenergetic Analysis; NLP; Encounter Groups Group Therapy; and Ideomotor Signaling; Psychodrama; Narrative Therapy, Provocative Therapy and Hypnosis.
