Most therapists are eclectic, borrowing from various approaches, but have no formal way to figure when to use one form of therapy over another. The aim here is to present an ordinary language formulation that can organize and integrate the various orientations, so we can better understand why we might use one method here and another over there.

The foundation in ordinary language and common sense invites us to import out prior experiences and our existing competencies, so we need not reinvent the wheel.

The material was based on ordinary language analysis and the formulations of Peter Ossorio. Titled "Pragmatic Psychotherapy." and published in 1984, it received several positive reviews, sold through its initial print run, and went out of print. "Guidelines" is a slightly revised second edition, and should be suitable for graduate students and advanced therapists alike.

"an excellent, accessible, highly readable, and intelligent book on psychotherapy...”
Ray Bergner, PhD, Illinois State University
"...there is so much common sense in this book that it borders on wisdom"
Gerard Egan, Ph.D., Loyola University ..review of 1st editioon, 1986.
