ABSTRACT
Therapists and counsellors are under increasing pressure to provide effective treatment in a time-limited, demonstrably effective form. Time-Limited Psychotherapy (TLP) has developed in response, and is designed to give clients an intense form of therapy over 12 sessions. This title:
* Uses vivid clinical descriptions of treatments and up-to-date research findings
* Describes what the treatments entail
* Discusses their outcome
* Deals with teaching and learning of TLP regarding the changing conditions in public needs and in public services.
Time-Limited Psychotherapy in Practice will appeal to psychotherapists, counsellors, researchers and academics in the mental health field.
