Synopses & Reviews
Strategic therapists find rapid and effective solutions to patients' problems. In this book, noted proponents of brief strategic therapy, Drs. Nardone and Watzlawick, offer a detailed account of its theory, application, and unique interactional view of problem formation and resolution. They distinguish the strategic method from others, illustrate specific techniques employed, and address its use in the treatment of various pathologies. Emphasizing the need to combine a knowledge of systematic strategies and techniques with inventiveness and mental versatility, the authors demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in altering people's perceptions, behavior, and opinions.
Synopsis
This book provides the most comprehensive explanation of brief strategic therapy techniques and reveals how apparently simple techniques can solve complex, seemingly untreatable problems. The authors offer in-depth case studies and a thorough evaluation of the results obtained from their empirical research. Brief Strategic Therapy will be an invaluable resource to anyone interested in solving complicated problems by simple strategies.
Synopsis
This book puts forward a complete picture of Brief Strategic Therapy while defining the theoretical and practical features that distinguish this method from other psychotherapies. The authors present a comprehensive explanation of non-ordinary Mathematical Logic, which underlies brief strategic therapy techniques, to reveal how apparently simple techniques come to solve complex, seemly untreatable problems. This book provides the reader with a detailed description of the techniques applied throughout the treatment, and also explains the strategies, tactics, and techniques employed in reframing people's perceptions, behavior and opinions. This rigorous work is one of Nardone's most important and creative contributions to the evolution of Brief Therapy. It presents the advanced techniques set up for specific pathologies through long-term experimental-empirical research carried out at the Centro di Terapia Strategica of Arezzo, Italy. Case studies are introduced for a better understanding of this approach, followed by a thorough evaluation of the results obtained through on-going experimental-empirical research.
