BRUCE ECKER is a psychotherapist in private practice, teaches brief therapy at John F. Kennedy University, and is a clinical staff trainer at numerous mental health agencies. He is the coauthor of Spiritual Choices: The Problem of Recognizing Authentic Paths to Inner Transformation (1987). His work in psychotherapy follows a lengthy career in physics research. LAUREL HULLEY is in private practice and as Director of Clinical Training for Pacific Seminars develops and designs professional trainings in depth-oriented brief therapy. The authors, based in Oakland, California, are the originators of depth-oriented bried therapy.
A challenging, precise, and exciting approach to therapy that will delight those therapists who celebrate the complexity of clients. Ecker and Hulley combine a thoughtful attention to the unconscious with a commitment to making every session count. Gutsy, convincing, and powerful! (David B.
