With lengthy waiting lists, reduced resources and demands for more clearly defined performance outcomes, more and more counselors, psychotherapists and psychologists are finding themselves under pressure to provide short-term treatment for their patients.

To work briefly is to work differently and to use a new trans-theoretical model.In Doing Therapy Briefly four experienced counselors and psychologists explore ways of working briefly with clients in psychotherapy. The only book to cover the use of brief therapy within all the different schools of thought, this book presents a clear and refreshing approach to working briefly, based on a tried and tested framework for practice. Readers are introduced to the basic principles and theories that guide therapy practice and gain insight into its application through numerous illustrative examples.Written by a team of authors with a wealth of experience in the fields of counseling, psychotherapy and care, this authoritative text will be invaluable to students and professionals alike.

<p>Robert Bor and, Riva Miller, who run the AIDS Counseling Service at the Royal Free Hospital, London, are internationally known for their work in providing consultation to many hospital departments from within the hospital itself. Internal Consultation in Health Care Settings should, however, be of interest to anyone working within a large organization. The authors have produced a step-by-step guide to negotiating an internal consultation; and, in a very comprehensive manner, they have described their theoretical framework and the consultation work itself, both based on their own application of systemic thinking. The book is illustrated throughout with examples drawn from their own work.</p>

Internal Consultation in Health Care Settings (The Systemic Thinking and Practice Series: Work with Organizations)

Expanding on the 1989 National Research Council volume AIDS, Sexual Behavior, and Intravenous Drug Use, this book reports on changing patterns in the distribution of cases and the results of intervention efforts under way. It focuses on two important subpopulations that are becoming more and more at risk: adolescents and women. The committee also reviews strategies to protect blood supplies and to improve the quality of surveys used in AIDS research. AIDS: The Second Decade updates trends in AIDS cases and HIV infection among the homosexual community, intravenous drug users, women, minorities, and other groups; presents an overview of a wide range of behavioral intervention strategies directed at specific groups; discusses discrimination against people with AIDS and HIV infection; and presents available data on the proportion of teenagers engaging in the behaviors that can transmit the virus and on female prostitutes and HIV infection.
