Without a Net: Preparations for Postmodern Living, ParryReviewsThis book is a sophisticated reference work on the application of postmodern thinking to the field of psychotherapy. Conveniently divided into sections on solution-focused, narrative, and reflecting team work, it contains both theoretical and case study material. Its author list reads like a 'who's who' of the leaders in the field, including Berg, deShazer, Selekman, Andersen Anderson, and Hoffman. An excellent choice for an advanced class. --Catherine Scanlon, PhD, Counseling Program Director, Kent State University <br> For the past ten years, the field of family therapy has been on the edge of making, at a minimum, a change in its own narratives about therapy and, at the other extreme, a major paradigm shift. The New Language of Change offers therapists a view of what is on the other side of this transition. The book offers clear theoretical descriptions and comprehensive case examples that fit the political, economic, and philosophical changes that therapists now face. I highly recommend it. --William D. Lax, PhD, Antioch University <br> As therapy turns the corner from the traditional to a more collaborative approach, therapists need useful information to help guide them. The views presented in this book offer readers a clear map to engage in therapeutic conversations. --Michele Weiner-Davis, LCSW, Private Practitioner, Member, American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy <br> Read this book! If you are new to solution-oriented brief treatment this volume offers you a comprehensive overview of this significant and emerging model from the people who are involved with its evolution. If you are an 'old hand' at constructivism and post-structural therapies, Friedman'svolumegives you an intelligent, thought-provoking, in-depth view at how to do even better. --Simon H. Budman, PhD, Harvard Community Health Plan <br> Takes you behind the scenes into the minds and hearts of many of today's most creative clinicians and theorists. Extensive case transcriptions, commentaries, reflections and questions raised by and asked of each of the authors invite the reader to visualize the ideas in practice. Join in the dialogue in this intimate book with thinkers currently shaping much of the solution-focused, narrative, and postmodern approaches to work with families. --Janine Roberts, EdD, Associate Professor, University of Massachusetts at Amherst <br> After the introduction of family therapy and systems thinking in past decades human cervices in general and family therapy in particular are currently witnessing yet another major evolutionary step. The new trend--or generation--is not a monolithic theory of the etiology of human problems, nor is it a predefined method of doing therapy. Whether it is presented under the designation narrative, reflective, postmodern, solution-oriented, resource-ridden or competence-based, from the client's perspective it is all much the same: a respectful and collaborative way of helping people which, as becomes clear in this book, gives plenty of room for adaptation and personal style. --Ben Furman, MD, Brief Therapy Institute, Helsinki, Finland <br> Packed with valuable information...highly recommended for practitioners and students studying practice. --Patricia Kelley in Crisis Intervention <br> A manifesto of our times.... Individual, couples, and family therapists can benefit, mightily, by reading sections one and two. Familytherapy instructors can use the manifesto almost as a textbook. Theoretcicians will find a great deal to excerpt from as they turn manifesto into a constitution. --David Garfield, MD, American Journal of Psychotherapy <br> This book is a sophisticated reference work on the application of postmodern thinking to the field of psychotherapy. Conveniently divided into sections on solution-focused, narrative, and reflecting team work, it contains both theoretical and case study material.
