Fascinating set of therapeutic How-To's for interventions

By A Customer - January 31, 1997

Basically this is a set of techniques for diagnosing and intervening with families. The 56 techniques include such classics as the genogram, use of dreams, reframing, and paradox. Each technique is presented with enough detail that you can use it immediately. Names of techniques include: "Pretending to have the symptom," "Contaminating the suicidal Fantasy," and "Sculpting."
Each procedure is such an easy read that I have made this book part of my bathroom accessories. I wouldn't part with it.

A great resource book-

By C. Pollard - December 29, 2012

This book is easy to follow, is divided up into compact but thorough chapters, and provides a great overview of a variety of techniques. A must-have for a new professional or even a seasoned therapist who would like additional material to work with.
