From the Back Cover

Coming off the press is Current Thinking and Research in Brief Therapy, Volume 2, the latest publication of the Milton H. Erickson Foundation. The series editors have brought together an impressive group of contributors to discuss the latest trends in brief therapy. You will find Harry Aponte presenting a thoughtful piece on the issue of client-therapy intimacy, while Doug Flemons and Shelley Green share a humorous yet sensitive article on sexual concerns in couples, and finally, Insoo Kim Berg and Norman Reuss present an article on treating substance abuse using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
In addition to the emotional side of psychotherapy, the contributors cover the scientific aspects as well. Various models of brief therapy are presented, emphasizing that the therapeutic effects of the treatment models are attributable to 'the non-treatment specifics' of the therapeutic interaction.
Also included is a review of empirical data on the key elements and the social-psychological aspect of Ericksonian hypnosis. Finally, an important, and perhaps controversial, essay on ethics in the general non-therapeutic use of hypnosis by lawyers and its use in recovering memories is presented. Together this volume offers the reader the best in innovative treatment techniques.
