5.0 out of 5 stars For therapists who want to think about what it is they do., 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
For anyone who has an interest in clinical epistomology, i.e., how we know what we know about therapy, this is, quite simply, one of the best books I've ever read about the "doing" of psychotherapy. It is one of those books that I look at over and over for the challenges to traditional approaches that I find it provides. Although some might find it dense, the material is facinating for those with a desire to delve more deeply into the workings of the process of psychotherapy.

At this date, almost anyone involved in the field of therapy has heard about, or attended workshops in the area solution-oriented or possibility therapy; this book provides some of the underpinnings for what may be the most exciting developments in psychotherapy since Freud first led a patient to the couch!

This book encouraged me to ask questions about the work I do as a therapist, the beliefs we hold about therapy and where those beliefs come from, and how we know that what we do works. All in all, a very satisfying and thought-provoking read

5.0 out of 5 stars A landmark publication on the road to brief therapies, 5 Aug 2003
By Dr. M. Mckergow (Cheltenham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first read this book over then years ago, and it is still unsurpassed as a rigorous philosophical workout about what therapy is and can be, and what therapists do and can do. This is not an easy read, but the book repays continuing study - it is a rich source of ideas, particularly on the limits of what therapists can seek to do with their clients. These (broadly post-Ericksonian) approaches are positioned alongside the philosophy of Wittgenstein and the positivists of the Vienna Circle, making a fascinating (and for me, life-changing) combination.

There are many practical aspects to the book, all of which can work given skillful application (and perhaps the patience to stick with it and not run back to more familiar territory). There are many more practical books about brief and solutions focused therapy which have been published since, but this work still stands the test of time and is a must-read for anyone interested in the broader contexts of brief therapy.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT VERY USEFUL IN THE REAL WORLD, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The techniques and stratgeys in the volume are just not workable or effective. I have been doing therapy for many years and had heard lots of praise from new therapists and some interns for this therapy....I was disapointed in this approach...
