Overview

With all of the expert-authored content that made previous editions indispensable references for students and practitioners alike, this third edition of The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies: A Practitioner's Guide has been updated to reflect this rapidly changing field.

Most chapters include new material that documents recent developments within existing models, and new chapters tackle topics that include the following: • Multicultural practice• Mentalizing• Motivational interviewing• Dialectical behavior therapy• Telepsychiatry• Internet-based interventions

All chapters summarize the ideas underlying each modality, the evidence for effectiveness, and the techniques and interventions central to each.

In this edition, the DVD of videos has been replaced with 40 updated streaming videos -- available on desktop and mobile devices -- that show experienced practitioners engaged in a range of brief therapies, allowing for a deeper and richer learning experience for readers.

In a national and global environment of limited economic resources and multiple demands on patients' time, short-term treatment modalities are increasingly important. Integrating theory, research, and step-by-step procedures, The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies is an ideal introduction to the range of short-term therapies for psychiatry residents, psychology interns, social work students, and experienced practitioners looking to broaden their practice.

Editorial Reviews

3 Stars from Doody

Reviewer: Brett C. Plyler, M.D.(Northwestern Memorial Hospital)
Description: This book, part of the Core Competencies series, is intended to be a basic text for doing brief psychotherapy and covers six essential brief psychotherapies.
Purpose: This purpose is to offer a basic text for brief psychotherapy competence as well as guidelines for judging this competence.
Audience: The book is written for psychiatry residents and faculty who are involved in their training.
Features: All of the books in the series were written as a result of the Psychiatric Residency Review Committee's mandate (as an extension of six core competencies for medical education) for reasonable and measurable competence in five different forms of psychotherapy. This book provides a basic understanding of how to do brief psychotherapy in six areas: cognitive, solution-focused, behavior, interpersonal, psychodynamic, and couples. There is an additional section on brief therapy in combination with medications; multicultural aspects of brief therapy; and key ingredients of successful psychotherapy. It also provides some guidelines to supervisors on how to judge competence in the six brief psychotherapies discussed.
Assessment: This is an excellent introduction to brief psychotherapy and is appropriate for residents beginning their therapy training. Each section presents the theory behind the therapy and provides a concise description of how it is intended to be used. There are good clinical examples that illustrate the therapy being performed in a successful fashion. The references provide lists for more in-depth reading for those who are interested in a particular form of therapy. There are also sections on multicultural therapy, psychopharmacology, and judging competence that don't seem to be necessary but are a nice addition.

Doody's Review Service

Through use of case histories and many examples of dialogue between therapist and patient, the authors make it easy for the reader to understand how each of the six brief therapies covered can be implemented.
