The First Session in Brief Therapy
by Michael F. Hoyt

In all models of therapy, the initial interview is a significant component: It sets the tone, structure, direction, and foundation of treatment. In brief therapy, the opening moves are even more important because there is less time later to correct errors or change direction. This volume provides practitioners with an up-close view of exactly what expert brief therapists do at the beginning of treatment and why they do it. Each author describes his or her particular orientation, presents annotated transcripts of actual initial sessions, and responds to pointed questions from the editors about their cases. Following an introduction by the editors, the first section of the book covers initial sessions in therapies for individuals. These include the rational-emotive approach, a one-session intervention, an interpersonal psychodynamic model, neurolinguistic programming, and the I-D-E (interpersonal-developmental-existential) approach. Beginning cognitive-behavioral therapy with depressed or drug abusing adolescents is covered, and a directive approach strongly influenced by the work of Milton Erickson is presented. The next section addresses methods and strategies for working with couples and families. Chapters on marital therapy cover an integrative approach that combines an intra- and interpersonal focus in marital therapy, a cognitive-behavioral approach that is based on principles of social learning and social exchange theory, emotionally focused therapy, and an approach that utilizes reflective conversation. A solution-oriented model, "the possibility paradigm," for helping families amplify their strengths is delineated, as is a strategic MRI-style model for working with an individual family member, and a structural approach for creating familial change. An ideal companion to Budman's THEORY AND PRACTICE OF BRIEF THERAPY, this illuminating and unique casebook is essential reading for all clinicians who need to learn more about time-effective models. Offering a comparative view of a variety of models, it is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students.

As the book's title implies, the primary concern is pragmatic and is geared to students and practitioners of group therapy who which to advance their existing base of knowledge and to enhance and broaden their leadership skills. In order to accomplish this goal, the text is designed to provide a brief historical context against which one can compare and contrast contemporary group methods and identify long-standing trends in the group field. This will be followed by an overview of the basic principles of group treatment with specific reference to leadership and membership issues involved in clinical decision making and choice of group interventions selected. The focus in the latter part of the text will be on the newer uses of group and an in-depth discussion of the theory, structure, and practice of these innovative group formats. Selected forms of group therapy which are unique, underemphasized in the group literature, and which demonstrate creative adaptation of traditional group theory and technique will form the focal points for this section. The text concludes with some speculation about groups of the future and about further applications of group treatment to meet the needs of people in arapidly changing world.
