Opis

Therapists and counsellors are under increasing pressure to provide effective treatment in a time-limited, demonstrably effective form. Time-Limited Psychotherapy (TLP) has developed in response, and is designed to give clients an intense form of therapy over 12 sessions. This title: uses vivid clinical descriptions of treatments and up-to-date research findings; describes what the treatments entail; discusses their outcome; and deals with teaching and learning of TLP regarding the changing conditions in public needs and in public services.

Recenzje

'(Gaby Shefler's) work adds immensely to our useful information on an important subject which basically has to do with constructing methods of treatment which are brief, effective clinically, cost effective and provide greater treatment opportunity for greater numbers of patients.' - From the Foreword by the late James Mann, developer of Time-Limited Psychotherapy.

'This book should prove stimulating and helpful to all those who work in psychotherapy and counselling.' - David Fontana, University College of Wales, Cardiff
