Therapists and counsellors are under increasing pressure to provide effective treatment in a time-limited, demonstrably effective form. Time-Limited Psychotherapy (TLP) has developed in response, and is designed to give clients an intense form of therapy over 12 sessions. This title: uses vivid clinical descriptions of treatments and up-to-date research findings; describes what the treatments entail; discusses their outcome; and deals with teaching and learning of TLP regarding the changing conditions in public needs and in public services.
