| Publisher Description: This book presents examples of treatment cases that depict the effective involvement of co-therapists and brief interventions of consultants in challenging treatment cases and the manner in which they facilitate expediting treatment and extricating therapists from treatment impasses. Part one describes the dialectical cotherapy approach in treating individuals, families and groups and in supervising and teaching trainees treatment selection. Part two describes the effective brief interventions of consultants in treatment impasses. Thirteen brief case studies (plus a group therapy) are presented of children and adults with various symptoms, problems and diagnoses, including, amongst others, selective mutism, borderline personality, phobia, OCD, depression, and anorexia nervosa.
