Reviews
"Breaking new ground in any field is a major accomplishment. To do so in different directions at the same time, and in doing so, open up whole new territories, reflects a tour de force. In my opinion, Michael White and David Epston are engaged in just this kind of trailblazing for the field of family therapy. This compact book represents a distillate of some of their major achievements. It charts a series of bold strides in their reconnaissance into the domain of human problems and stakes out some original therapeutic contributions.

"I was recently asked where the fresh new ideas were in therapy. And I replied, "from the land down under." David Epston and Michael White are pushing the frontiers with a creative new approach to effective psychotherapy. Their humanness and respect for the strengths of the people with whom they work shine through in this book. Throw some shrimp on the barbie, put your feet up, and be prepared for a treat.
" -- William Hudson O'Hanlon, MS, coauthor of In Search of Solutions
