Rezensionen

`Excellent... [the book] explores the "provision of effective counselling with limited resources and under strict time pressures"... with some excellent writing on the nature of time and attitudes to time in counselling and psychotherapy... the evidence in favour [of short-term counselling] is put strongly. Colin Feltham favours it as an approach of choice for certain clients, which should co-exist with (rather than adversarially seek to oust and replace) longer-term therapy... The book is well researched. Colin Feltham draws from a wide range of literature, while identifying those key ingredients, skills and strategies that he has found especially significant. He also discusses some of the different contexts in which this work operates: EAPs, community, voluntary and statutory agencies, student counselling and private practice. Many of the questions and issues he poses... will be picked up most productively in training and supervision sessions' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling
