Brief therapy with intimidating cases

"This hands-on guide by Richard Fisch and Karin Schlanger - pioneers in the field of brief therapy - offers behavioral health care professionals an important resource for applying the proven principles of brief therapy to a range of complex psychological problems that were once thought to be treatable only through long-term therapy or with the use of psychotropic medication. The practical techniques presented in this timely book are based on the authors' more than fifty years combined clinical experience in both private practice and at Palo Alto's acclaimed Mental Research Institute."--BOOK JACKET.
