`Excellent... [the book] explores the "provision of effective
counselling with limited resources and under strict time
pressures"... with some excellent writing on the nature of time and
attitudes to time in counselling and psychotherapy... the evidence
in favour [of short-term counselling] is put strongly. Colin
Feltham favours it as an approach of choice for certain clients,
which should co-exist with (rather than adversarially seek to oust
and replace) longer-term therapy... he draws from a wide range of
literature, while identifying those key ingredients, skills and
strategies that he has found especially significant. He also
discusses some of the different contexts in which this work
operates... Many of the questions and issues he poses... will be
picked up most productively in training and supervision sessions' -
Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling
and Psychotherapy Time-limited counselling - that is, the provision
of effective counselling with limited resources and under strict
time pressures - is becoming increasingly important as the demand
for counselling increases, and the management of waiting lists and
costs becomes a crucial concern. In this clearly written book,
which incorporates useful, illustrative examples, Colin Feltham
outlines the specific practical and technical skills, strategies
and knowledge counsellors must have in order to undertake
time-limited counselling. Following an examination of the client's
induction into counselling, he describes the most appropriate
models for different clients and problems. Further chapters assess
the management of time-limited counselling in different settings -
including private practice - and look at research, training and
supervision issues. Squarely addressing the objections to the use
of, and real problems in, the practice of this short-term
therapeutic paradigm, the author argues that time-limited
counselling can be justified not only on economic grounds but also
ethically, philosophically, clinically and with reference to
consumer preferences. He also identifies the common factors in
successful short-term work that span different theoretical
orientations.
