This is the introduction to Dr Shulem's new book. It deals with how to do sucessful solution-oriented psychotherapy while being consistent with Torah values. Focus is on the precise use of language to cause cognitive shifts and reframing. Dr. Shulem has successfully used this approach and taught it to hundreds of students over the years. On the one hand it seems simple - but it does require proper practice and guidance to be done properly. It clearly demonstrates that good therapy doesn't have to be long or focused on the past.

"Some of the more disturbing (and promising

Is this a self-training textbook?
ReplyDeleteIt definitely offers information that can be utilized just by reading the book. Ideally one should be supervised in the techniques - but it really isn't actually needed to be able to implement the ideas.
