"Join de Shazer behind the on-way mirror for a fascinating
journey into the land of brief therapy, where the emphasis is not
on how problems arise, but on how to solve them. His case examples
read like well-written detective novels, and his concept of
'skeleton key' interventions is both provocative and promising.
This is a book that is firmly grounded in the tradition of Milton
Erickson, but that extends Erickson's work into new areas. Highly
recommended." Bill O'Hanlon, Editor, Milton H.Erickson Foundation

"De Shazer's work is testimony to simplicity and parsimony in
the therapeutic art of addressing the complex. The author's sense
of delight, curiosity, and utter respect for the human condition
and people's capacity for creative problem-solving resound in rich
case examples, therapist repertoire, and team cooperation. This
book presents a teachable model whose outer edges remain open,
flexible, and inviting." Evan Imber Coppersmith, Ph.D., University
of Calgary
"De Shazer offers, among other things, an expansion of our
horizons by an emphasis on solutions as counterweight to previous
emphasis on the origins or the nature of problems, an expansion of
one's vision of 'cooperation' in therapy as contrasted to
'resistance, ' including ideas about how to work with those vague
clients who are otherwise the bane of strategic therapists, and
some seminal thoughts on 'formula' interventions. These last,
together with the recent work of Mara Selvini Palazzoli, may well
mark an important new step." John H. Weakland, Ch.E., Mental
Research Institute, Palo Alto"
