Jay Haley Book order (chronological)

Das Buch beginnt mit einer Darstellung des großen Machtstrategen Jesus Christus, beleuchtet dann die Machtverhältnisse in Zweierbeziehungen und nimmt sich danach das therapeutische Feld vor: Haley übt Kritik an der Medikamenten-Psychiatrie, verteidigt auf überraschende Weise die Psychoanalyse, schürt aber gleichzeitig generell die Skepsis psychologischen Theorien gegenüber und stellt die Wirksamkeit von Therapien infrage.

If one could ask Milton Erickson anything one wishes about how to change people, the result would be these conversations. In this volume, approaching marital couples in his unique ways, Erickson talks about the issues of marriage and shows many procedures for resolving problems.

Long known as the world's leading medical hypnotist, Milton H. Erikson developed a strategic approach - for individuals, couples and families - that uses hypnotic-therapy skills in observing and motivating people. His ideas and procedures have been widely used to sharpen the techniques of therapists of many different schools. Jay Haley provides a look at Dr. Erickson's theories in practice, through description and excerpts from Erickson's case studies.--From back cover.
