Confronting the challenge to provide sound clinical treatment in brief therapy, this timely book will enrich the practices of all psychotherapists. Designed and arranged according to the DSM-IV diagnostic categories, each chapter addresses the short-term treatment of a specific condition or patient population. Starting from the premise that psychodynamically trained clinicians already possess the requisite skills to conduct short-term treatment, the editors demonstrate how to adapt these skills to a time-limited approach.

In this expertly written work, short-term treatment is presented not as a treatment by default, but as a planned, rigorous framework for helping a wide range of clients. Using the overarching framework of Integrated Short-Term Treatment, each chapter begins with clinical requirements for determining when and with whom a short-term approach may be usefully employed, followed by vividly detailed case examples that illuminate the process from assessment through termination. Chapters focus on diverse clinical issues such as dementia and eating disorders and distinctive clinical populations like adolescents and the mentally retarded. Common characteristics and important differences in the use of a short-term approach are highlighted. This is an excellent book for all practitioners who desire a better understanding of the brief treatment process and its adaptation to a variety of client problems and clinical populations.
