In recent years, short-term therapies have increasingly gained a
following among therapists looking for innovative treatments for
patients. At a time in which traditional, open-ended psychotherapy
is attacked as costly and inefficient, short-term therapy has
naturally found new followers. This collection of essays form an
essential reference book for therapists who practice short-term
therapy and those considering this form of treatment. The aim of
this volume is to provide a way for therapists to consider
short-term therapy, evaluate it for individual patients, and plan
appropriate courses of treatment.
The book is divided into four sections that highlight the
characteristic elements of short-term dynamic therapy: brevity,
focus, therapist activity, and patient selection. The book features
papers by Franz Alexander; S. H. Budman and A. S. Gurman; James
Mann; Mardi J. Horowitz; Gerald L. Klerman, Myrna M. Weissman,
Bruce Rounsaville, and Eve S. Chevron; Eric Berne, Claude M.
Steiner, and John M. Dusay; Thomas E. Schacht, Jeffrey L. Binder,
and Hans H. Strupp; George A. Kelly; Aaron T. Beck and Ruth L.
Greenberg; Allen Frances and Samuel Perry; Hans H. Strupp; Leston
L. Havens; H. Davanloo; Robert Langs; D. M. Malan; P. E. Sifneos;
Miguel A. Leibovich; Allen Frances and John F. Clarkin; David H.
Malan, E. Sheldon Heath, Howard A. Bacal, and Frederick H. G.
Balfour; Sigmund Freud; and D. W. Winnicott.
