A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Brief Psychotherapy CMT: An Integrative Approach in Clinical Practice Francis Macnab The Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia Psychotherapy, within the short span of a decade, has undergone a revolution. Some of the changes have come from psychotherapists themselves. Other changes have been provoked by their patients and clients. They now expect that their psychotherapists will be concerned not only with what is going on in their minds, but also with what is going on in the changing context of their lives. Patients and clients now expect that their psychotherapists will become engaged in a collaborative process in which problems will be unravelled, new resources introduced, and new ways of coping actively taught and learned. All these changes and objectives are increasingly located in the context of a strategy for brief therapy. Contextual Modular Therapy (CMT) is an intensive engagement in therapy. Clients? problems are discussed with regard to the context of their occurrence and the context of resources that might be relevant to them. The psychotherapy is in six–session modules. Each session draws the client into a different engagement. The approach offers clients a clear indication of their plan of therapy and they may wish to participate in monitoring and evaluating the directions taken and the progress made. This book is written primarily for psychotherapists, especially those in training, and those who would like to be part of the movement of integration that is bringing substantial changes to the theory and practice of psychotherapy.
