"This eminently practical book clearly identifies and explains the main skills needed to practise solution-focused brief therapy and shows how to integrate these new skills successfully into existing practice." "This is a timely and important book for those interested in solution-focused therapy in its own right, as well as for those who are looking for a clear brief-therapy approach and for practitioners who want to incorporate solution-focused therapy into their existing methods of working."--Jacket.
