`Anybody with the slightest interest in brief therapy should read this book.
Now that the initial controversy over brief therapy has begun to subside it is
great to see how brief therapy works in practice. Gaie Houston's book is part
of a series published by SAGE which sets out to do this - and hers is
particularly illuminating and accessible.

As she points out Gestalt is better equipped than many mainstream therapies to
be applied to situations with extreme time constraints because it is both
flexible and it acknowledges the part that can be played by other therapies.
But what propels Houston's book out of the hum drum - or indeed the defensive
(or offensive) diatribes about short therapy which have appeared over the past
few years - is her vivid accounts of real-life sessions, both one to one and
group, which punctuate the text' - Amazon Review

Brief Gestalt Therapy demonstrates how the Gestalt approach can be used
effectively in brief interventions with clients. Gestalt's distinctively
integrative nature and emphasis on a highly co-operative working alliance,
make it particularly suited to brief work.

The book sets out the basic theory and principles of Gestalt and looks at each
phase of the therapeutic process from initial assessment through the beginning
and middle stages to the ending of the work. It presents clear, practical
strategies for therapists to follow and in particular examines:

} aspects of Gestalt which are especially relevant to brief work

-} the elements of successful therapy

-} ways of improving skills.

Brief Gestalt Therapy includes vignettes and detailed case studies which bring
the theory alive. It will contribute much to both existing literature on
Gestalt therapy and also brief therapy, and will be invaluable to trainee and
practising Gestalt therapists.
