An ideal professional resource and an excellent classroom text, this book from world-renowned therapist Jay Haly explores new ways to think about therapy and creatively apply it in teaching and practice. In today's managed-care environment, mental health practitioners must be ready to use a variety of approaches, including brief therapy techniques, and must be flexible enough to adapt to each case. Enlivened with Haley's trademark wit, the book is filled with case examples and verbatim transcripts of therapy interviews. It provides a consistent ideology to frame the variety of ways of doing therapy, and helps readers learn how to draw what is best from each approach. Table of Contents 1. Teaching Psychotherapy 2.

Compulsory Therapy Epilogue: How to be a Therapy Supervisor Without Knowing How to Change Anyone "An extremely well- conceived, lucid, and comprehensive guide to the practice and teaching of psychotherapy....Should be a fundamental text for all teachers and trainees." -Neil P.

Therapists and supervisors now have the opportunity to expose themselves to a large dose of the knowledge I spent years training with Jay to learn--and many things I heard for the first time when I read the book." -Jerome A.
