Description

This elib exclusive book is one of the bonuses/incentives for the “Rubin Battino GB for Hypnosis, Psychotherapy, Brief Therapy, metaphors and Guided Imagery” group buy,  please check it out at:: The Very Brief Therapy BookAuthor: Rubin BattinoPublished: 2006Book Description: 197 pages scanned, OCRed & bookmarked.This immensely powerful and practical book is about utilizing the power of expectation in working with clients. It is the author’s contention that creating an environment in which the client expects to change is the foundation of doing effective very brief therapy. His own private practice is one where he rarely sees clients more than one or two times. Clients know in advance that this is the way that he works, and so their expectation is that during each session they are going to get down to the hard stuff, and resolve their concerns insofar as it is possible. This means working as if each session were the last one. So, this book is about all of the things that are designed to work in a single-session mode. There will, of course, still be clients who will need many more sessions but creating the expectation that each session will be last creates an impetus towards change that is vital in the therapeutic process.After presenting the basic outline of this approach, the balance of the book details (chapter by chapter) the specific approaches that the author finds most useful in this work. These include:Ø RapportØ George Burns’s Nature-Guided TherapyØ Hypnotic LanguageØ Richard R. Kopp’s metaphor TherapyØ metaphor and HypnosisØ Ernest Rossi’s Rapid MethodsØ Solution-Oriented ApproachesØ The Ideodynamic Methods of D. B. CheekØ The Work of Steve de Shazer and AssociatesØ NLP ApproachesØ Bill O’Hanlon’s ApproachesØ Narrative TherapyØ Lucas Derks’s Social PanoramaØ Rituals and CeremoniesØ Erickson and Very Brief TherapyØ Provocative TherapyØ Jay Haley and Ordeal TherapyØ Barry Duncan, Scott Miller, and Jacqueline Sparks’s,“Heroic Client”Ø Ambiguous Function AssignmentsØ Moshe Talmon’s Single Session Therapy (SST)Expectation is the definitive guide to how Rubin Battino does therapy. This volume is an essential addition to any therapist’s library.“Challenging preconceptions that therapy is a prolonged endeavor, Expectation is insightful and thought provoking and is a valuable reference manual for those seeking a solid grounding in very brief approaches to therapy.The author clearly explains his eclectic and pragmatic approach, one that has drawn from numerous sources that allow him to complete the entire process of therapy in only one or two sessions.Another ‘must have’ book from this respected author and therapist.”—Peter Mabbutt, FBSCH, FBAMH, Director of Studies, London College of Clinical HypnosisThis immensely powerful and practical book is about utilizing the power of expectation in working with clients.
