Editorial Reviews

De Shazer places his brief therapy work and that of his colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center (Milwaukee) within an overall philosophical position, based on Wittgenstein, Derrida, and others, that situates the solution-oriented model within the developing purview of post-structuralist thought.
