Interviews With Brief Therapy Experts Summary

Interviews With Brief Therapy Experts by Michael F. Hoyt

This book is a compilation of twelve interviews with brief therapy experts and some of the field's most influential innovators (O'Hanlon, de Shazer, White, and Meichenbaum to name a few). The interviews, conducted to explore technical, theoretical, and ethical aspects of the theory and practice of brief therapy, offer the give-and-take spontaneity that can only be found in an interview style. The selection of the content is based on both the expertise of the interviewees as well as those issues of most concern to the field: managed care and economics, ethics, and being solution-focused.

Interviews With Brief Therapy Experts Reviews

"The unifying themes of these conversations are a concern with the potential of psychotherapy to dehumanize and demoralize through the use of pathologically based language and an awareness of how the intrinsic power imbalance in the therapeutic relationship may lead to the imposition of agendas that are inconsistent with a client's goals." -- Psychiatric Services
"Twelve interviews with psychotherapists address the technical, theoretical and ethical aspects of their craft." -- SciTech Book News
