The author  worldrenowned therapist Giorgio Nardone  offers a brief (usually less than 20 session) treatment method that leads to a change in the interpersonal  cognitive  and emotional organizations underlying these painful and all too-common problems. Therapists using a strategic framework focus on reframing patients representations of self and other  and on changing the relational patterns that sustain fearful perceptions.  Based on extensive research and illustrated with in-depth clinical examples  this book offers hope to those whose lives have been unnecessarily limited by their phobias and obsessions.  Strategic brief therapy  as developed by John H. Weakland  Paul Watzlawick  and Richard Fisch  is based on a very simple idea problems are accidentally maintained by our repeated  failed attempts at solving them.  In this book  Giorgio Nardone uses the strategic brief therapy lens to focus on how particular troubles are accidentally maintained and how therapist and client can overcome them. The follow- up (79 percent resolved and 7 percent much improved) certainly points to the efficacy of Nardones approach.  Giorgio Nardones strategic psychotherapy model shows specific originality and an innovative quality compared to other brief therapy models. Phobic and obsessive disorders are difficult to treat. Nardones model achieves rapid symptom remission even in severe forms of panic  fear  and phobia.

A study of two clinical cases  complete with a transcript of therapy  not only enhances comprehension of the model but underscores the brilliance of the\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651736494133,"sku":"ByrdShop_1568218044","price":188.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781568218045.jpg?v=1781838776","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/brief-strategic-solutionoriented-therapy-of-phobic-and-obsessive-disorders-9781568218045","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
