This groundbreaking volume concentrates on solution-oriented
treatment of some of the most difficult pathologies - anorexia,
bulimia and vomiting (as a separate category introduced by Nardone
et al). The logic and apparent simplicity of the way these complex
conditions are treated is truly outstanding. As opposed to a
long-drawn psychotherapy, Nardone and his colleagues offer a
relatively short period of treatment, consisting of dialogue
between the patient and the therapist, and sometimes the patient's
family. The patient is also given some "homework" to do in-between
the sessions. Rather than looking at the "why" of the situation,
this approach looks at "how" the problem manifests itself and what
can be done about it.The book starts by outlining the pathologies
and the logic behind this type of brief therapy. It then moves on
to examine particular case studies and the reader gets immersed in
the fascinating dialogue between the therapist and the client. The
approach recognises the different needs of each individual but
offers some more general and useful practical advice to think
about, and to be adapted to each case. There are clarifying
comments and subheadings in-between the lines to point out to the
reader what the therapist is trying to achieve at that point."In
order to solve a problem, we need to understand how the system of
perception and reaction towards reality functions in the person s
here and now. In other words, we must try to understand how the
problem functions, not why it exists. In that sense, we leave
behind the search for knowledge based on 'why' for a search of
knowledge based on 'how' - going from a search for the causes of a
problem to a search for its modes of persistence. This allows the
resolving process to evolve from slow, gradual solutions to rapid
and effective interventions." -- From the Introduction"
