Synopsis

Therapy intervention which is brief and focused on specific developmental crises and passages is increasingly necessary in the face of shrinking financial support and government policy. Brief psychotherapy is a specifically developed skill. Brief Psychotherapy presents the therapist with a working knowledge of the forms of brief psychotherapy, techniques and strategies. Several major orientations and therapeutic contexts are considered. Other issues addressed include the type of crucial choices the therapist must make during therapy.
