From the dustjacket flap . . . . .

Despite the explosion of interest in recent years in techniques for dynamic brief psychotherapy, few training programs in clinical psychology and psychiatry teach short-term methods. Here is an invaluable reference for students, teachers, clinicians, and researchers. For the first time in one volume, the creators of both the major and lesser-known approaches to this subject present in their own words the theoretical underpinnings and the clinical models for their therapeutic strategies. The contributors thoroughly describe ten different approaches to short-term dynamic psychotherapy, covering in each instance the history of the method, inclusion and exclusion criteria, treatment goals, theory of change, techniques, case examples, problems with specific populations, and empirical evidence.
