Brief Therapy

Another seamless transaction, good customer service and quick shipping despite the holiday season. Great book and an easy read with some really practical information.

A simple but effective approach in a world of managed care

As a graduate student in a counseling psychology program, I found myself very enlightened by this book. I had always found myself interested in brief therapies, in particular solution-focused therapy. I believe that this book, which is easy to read and highly entertaining, to be useful to any practitioner, regardless of theoretical approach. Selekman simply offers unique and charismatic approaches to any "resistant" population.
