5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most important books of the 20th Century, 18 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This book is a summation, and a deceptively simple one, of the MRI's research into change: what it is, how it happens and how to stop it. The findings, stories and approaches presented will be generating new thoughts in readers into the next century as well. Quite simply reauired reading for therapists, change agents, facilitators and consultants.

I've thought this for five years, and have as yet found no reason to revise my views. Only time will tell if this work is to receive the acclaim it fully deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've been (Re) Framed!, 22 May 2006

By	G. W. Evans (North Wales, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I consider this book to be a classic... Its over thirty years old and I think it holds its own even now. Also if its good enough for Erickson then nuff said. The book provides both a detailed and comprehensive model of problems and change and also some excellent techniques and methods for unsticking and shifting things.

It is a book more suited to the therapist drawn to the brief strategic approach, who has recognised that all interactions in therapy create influence and who is therefore most interested in how to use this influence to help people get out of their unresourceful (and oft painful - whatever that means!) places as quickly as is possible. So if this means utilising paradox, binds, indirect suggestion, then fine...

I recommend it whole-heartedly. It is both illuminating and practical and together with 'tactics of change' (a later work by the same MRI group) is a good resource for the budding brief therapist. Why all you then need do is throw in some deShazer, O'Hanlon and of course some Bandler & Grinder and you'll be laughin' all the way..!

Excellent stuff.
