Planned Short-term Psychotherapy A Clinical Handbook

This work provides an analysis of significant approaches to short-term psychotherapy. In addition to examining a number of specific approaches to more traditional one-on-one planned short-term psychotherapy, the book also analyzes the literature that has focused on settings rather than theories. Included are ideas covering time-limited psychotherapy with groups and families, psychiatric inpatient units and, with regard to medical patients, crisis intervention and brief individual contacts.
