More about the book
While this book evolves naturally from de Shazer's earlier works, here he abandons his characteristically terse style. In explicating how language works in therapy, he ranges widely, citing and critiquing Lacan, Bateson, Ackerman, and Weakland, among others. But the heart of this book can be found in the detailed conversations between client and therapist that show solution-focused therapy in action.
