Len Sperry and Vasily Binenstok offer a new practical model for treating both medical and psychological issues in mental health and integrated care settings through focused interventions in short-term therapeutic formats. This unique book contains a set of interventions and approaches (including CBT methods) designed for the rapid and effective treatment of specific symptoms in very short (10-20 min.) time frames. Twenty short-term therapy interventions, most commonly used in mental health and integrated care settings, are illustrated with session notes for issues such as depression, anxiety, acute distress, chronic pain, sleep problems, and excess weight. The book will benefit both novice and experienced counselors and psychotherapists in conducting short-term therapy, equipping them with the necessary skills to address practical challenges in the field of mental health.
