This book, a companion to the authors' Escape from Babel, describes
therapy with a number of patients who had defeated numerous
clinicians and become "veterans" of the system. Using a flexible
approach that emphasizes relationship, hope, and a plan for the
future, the authors turn these cases around, setting the clients on
a path of independence and health.
While "psychotherapy" has been busily dividing into hundreds
ofdifferent models, research shows that it doesn't really matter
whichapproach you use. Yet there are some factors, across models,
that domatter.
Through feedback-informed treatment (FIT), clinicians gather
real-time input from clients through structured yet flexible
measures that identify what is and is not working in therapy and
how to better meet clients' needs. This book coalesces expert
insights from practitioners who have successfully integrated FIT in
their own work. Their experiences demonstrate how other clinicians
can incorporate FIT into their own practices to consistently
monitor clients' progress and the therapeutic alliance. The book
first reviews FIT theory, specific measures (including the Outcome
Rating Scale and the Session Rating Scale), and general strategies
for implementing FIT in practice and supervision. This information
is then translated into more specific applications of FIT with
different kinds of clients, including individuals, couples,
children and families, LGBTQ clients, and clients suffering from
addiction and early onset psychotic disorders. A variety of
treatment settings are also represented, such as private practice,
clinics, group therapy, the criminal justice system, and
pharmacies. The concluding chapter ties together the book's
overarching themes with friendly, practical advice about using FIT
to bolster professional development and improve one's clinical
abilities.
Your spouse complains about your drinking. Your boss suggests
Alcoholics Anonymous. You know you have a problem. You need a
solution; you need a miracle. The authors ask readers to imagine
such a miracle: Suppose that while you are asleep tonight a miracle
happens and your problem is solved, just like that! Because you
were sleeping, you didnt know that this miracle occurred. What is
the first thing tomorrow morning that will let you know that there
has been a miracle and that your problem is solved? From that
"first thing," the authors help readers to imagine a future where
drinking is not a problem and to specify small, concrete,
obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. Neither the
humiliation of "hitting bottom" nor a lifetime commitment to AA is
necessary to make this approach work. Instead the individual learns
to recognize exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem),
catch himself "doing things right," handle setbacks, and revise the
"miracle picture" when things arent working. Highly practical, The
Miracle Method is a radically new and effective approach to problem
drinking.
At a time when the accepted standard treatment for alcoholism is
long-term and expensive, solution-focused therapy, as developed at
the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee, offers a brief and
cost-effective alternative. Insoo Kim Berg and Scott D. Miller
believe that a focus on solutions, rather than pathology, is the
most constructive strategy for working with problem drinkers; their
foremost concern is with what works. To this end they don't reject
traditional treatment programs; rather, they view them as one part
of a flexible and multidimensional approach to alcohol abuse
treatment. The authors successfully utilize solution-focused
therapy in their work with problem drinkers, but it is their
philosophy of working with clients and within clients' belief
systems to encourage change that is at the heart of their model.
The model, grounded in the philosophy of solution-focused brief
therapy, introduces a paradigmatic change in the approach to
substance abuse treatment. Rather than treating a problem drinker,
Berg and Miller work with clients to treat problem drinking. The
authors' refreshing blend of respect for their clients and optimism
about their ability to stop abusive drinking offers hope to clients
who can't fit into traditional long-term programs or who have given
up on themselves. This book shows how clients can be helped to
construct a future where drinking or substance abuse is no longer a
problem. Solution-focused therapy, based on respect for and
collaboration with the client, concentrates on success and
solutions. Therapists develop goals with the client, rather than
imposing "appropriate" treatment objectives. If one solution
doesn't work, the technique not the client is blamed and client and
therapist go on to "do something different." The authors' model is
much more than a list of interventions; it is a multi-faceted
approach to treatment, which can adapt to anything that works,
whether brief therapy, AA, or more formal inpatient programs."
This book presents a new approach to therapy with problem drinkers
that focuses not on the past or the present but on the "future",
not on problems but on "solutions". The authors ask readers to
imagine that a miracle took place while they were asleep and their
problem was instantly solved. What, ask the authors, would be the
first thing the next morning that indicated that a miracle had
taken place and their problem was solved? From that "first thing",
the authors help readers to imagine a future when drinking is not a
problem and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will
make that future a reality. The individual learns to recognize
exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem), catch himself
"doing things right", handle setbacks and revise the "miracle
picture" when things are not working. "The Miracle Method" is a
radically new approach to problem drinking.
