The fundamental concern of psychotherapy is change. While practitioners are constantly greeted with new strategies, techniques, programs, and interventions, this book argues that the full benefits of the therapeutic process cannot be realized without fundamental revision of the concept of change itself. Applying cybernetic thought to family therapy, Bradford P. Keeney demonstrates that conventional epistemology, in which casue and effect have a linear relationship, does not sufficiently accommodate the reciprocal nature of causation in experience. Written in an unconventional style that includes stories, case examples, and imagined dialogues between an epistemologist and a skeptical therapist, the volume presents a philosophically grounded, ecological framework for contemporary clinical practice.

In this unusual volume, Bradford Keeney depicts psychotherapy as a performing art. Emphasizing the advantages of improvising one's own therapeutic style, he presents a host of tried-and-true strategic interventions, a short course on brief intervention design, a way of "scoring'' conversations with clients much like one would score music, a collection of therapeutic moves, and chapters on creating one's own clinical design. As such, IMPROVISATIONAL THERAPY is a book that will be valued by all who do clinical work.

Irreverence: A Strategy for Therapists' Survival (The Systemic Thinking and Practice Series)

Irreverence: A Strategy for Therapists' Survival marks the end result of a collaboration between three creative and highly respected therapists and writers in the family therapy field. It continues the tradition of the Milan group and later systemic thinkers by examining the way a therapist's own thinking can block the process of therapy and lead to feeling stuck. The authors define and demonstrate the use of a concept in the therapeutic field - irreverence - which allows therapists to free themselves from the limitations of their own theoretical schools of thought and the familiar hypotheses they apply to their client families. They illustrate their ideas with some very challenging family therapy cases and include an interesting consultation with the staff caring for a hospitalised patient. The book also extends the notion of irreverence beyond therapy to the fields of training and research where its application is both fresh and profound.

Considerando la terapia como un arte, este libro pone el acento en la actuación del terapeuta. Dado que la comunicación de cada cliente es de naturaleza impredecible, la participación del terapeuta en la dramática de una sesión se convierte en una invitación a que improvise. En otros términos, como nunca puede basarse exclusivamente en un papel actoral, una jerga o un libreto preparados de antemano: cada enunciación particular que se produce en una sesión ofrece una singular oportunidad para la imporvisación, la invención, la innovación o simplemente para el cambio. Las voces procedentes de las diversas escuelas y modelos siempre porcurarán ser lo más convincentes que puedan al abogar por su enfoque particular como el más eficaz, apropiado, ético y terapéutico para las personas. En cambio, los terapeutas que utilizan la improvisación se cuidan menos de ser fieles a los textos y a las instituciones que de experimentar, aplicar y compartir los inventos creativos de su propia imaginación.
