Summary:From start to finish, Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy presents a practical guide to working deeply and briefly with individuals, couples, and families. The book offers a clear and complete methodology and conceptual framework for producing lasting change beyond symptom relief; a compendium of specific techniques for depth-oriented brief therapy; a time-effective approach for working with clients whose presenting symptoms are driven by unresolved, lifelong emotional wounds; and abundant case examples covering a wide range of presenting symptoms, such as low self-esteem, chronic depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, agoraphobia, symbiotic attachment, dissociation, psychogenic pain, and sequelae of sexual abuse
Depth-Oriented Brief Therapy is written for therapists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, and other helping professionals who want to meet the challenge of managed care without losing the deeper levels of change traditionally associated with long-term or existential work
