Two Are Better Than One: Case Studies of Brief Effective Therapy

This volume is a wonderfully clear and integrated exposition of the clinical thinking that goes into the strategies employed by a pair of co-therapists working in Dr. Hoffman’s model. The case histories are brought together here in a manner that summarizes the philosophy and theory of his work. A series of various case histories are written up in sufficient detail with accompanying explanations. --

This book is a welcome addition to the field of psychotherapy. The author skillfully demonstrates that therapy need not follow a rigid script to be effective. The benefits of flexible thinking, creative methodology, yet therapeutically sound interventions may surpass the benefits of standard treatment with a challenging case. This is a wonderful resource for all therapists, demonstrating the need to at times think outside the box to meet the needs of the client. --
