The Art of Strategic Therapy

In "The Art of Strategic Therapy," the reader can for the first time experience Jay Haley's progressing work from weekly sessions with a training group where he discusses supervisory diagnostics and interview planning, and offers line directives and case debriefings. He personally handles a variety of techniques in treating depression, violence, and psychosis in therapy with couples, children, families and different ethnic groups. Anthropologist Madeleine Richeport-Haley provides critical analysis of the cultural backgrounds of the various ethnic groups in treatment.
