Jay Haley and the Art of Strategic Therapy

Related papers

Reflections on Therapy and Other Essays represents the cumulative work of one of family therapy's pioneer thinkers and provocateurs. The papers in this volume are classics and belong in every family therapist's library. Many of the papers are essential to a full understanding of the history of the field as well as the evolution of some of the central debates within family therapy. Jay Haley has never been shy about his opinions, and this collection gives the reader a comprehensive view of his thoughts on the subject of therapy. The 13 essays are characteristic of Haley's unique style and are published and distributed by Haley's own agency, The Family Therapy Institute of Washington, D.C. All of the essays are beautiful examples of his clever, precise way of capturing the essences of contexts. Included are such classics as "Towards a Theory of Pathological Systems," "The Family of the Schizophrenic: A Model System," "The Contributions to Therapy of Milton H. Erickson," "Why a Mental Health Clinic Should Avoid Family Therapy," and "Fourteen Ways to Fall as a Teacher of Family Therapy." All the essays appeared in other publications but are brought together for the first time in this book. The papers can be divided into three categories reflecting Haley's various facets. The first third of the volume relates to his contribution to the project on schizophrenic communication. The second group presents Haley's views on the therapy of Milton Erickson and Don Jackson and essays on child and behavioral therapies. The final group comprises Haley's classical, satirical essays on the practice of family therapy. Haley's excellent essays on "Behavior Modification" and "In Defense of Child Therapy" highlight the differences between systemic and other therapies, as well as their areas of overlap and the limitations of the various therapeutic models. All of these essays, along with his own reflections on master therapists, make this a satisfying glimpse into issues of therapy. Papers on the wisdom of his mentorsGregory Bateson, Don Jackson, and Milton Ericksonall portray Haley's respect and appreciation of their subtle artistry. On the other hand, his satirical essays reveal a deep cynicism about clinical practice. The passion of Haley's belief in the creative genius of our masters, side by side with his disbelief in our ability to practice the art, makes an intriguing paradox. Clöe Madanes, Haley's wife as well as a respected family therapist, writes in her introduction to the book: The Haley connoisseur will find this book is a new treat, that, throwing a different light on many issues could encourage him to re-read Haley's other books. Those who read Haley here for the first time will be provoked to think about human interaction and about therapy in new and unusual ways.

American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 2020

Clinical Psychology Review, 2002

How prescriptive should an author be in explaining the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy? One extreme is to emphasize a broad range of common practices, presenting several different methods of case formulation, responses to resistance, or guidelines for interpretation. This method can provide clinicians with a well-stocked toolbox that they can select from based on their own penchants and the needs of their clients. But even if the author is careful to include criteria for determining which techniques to use, the lack of clear direction can leave readers paralyzed or without a firm understanding of potential difficulties, especially if they are inexperienced therapists. The opposite extreme, typified by treatment manuals, is to advocate strongly for one coherent style, presenting a relatively prescriptive method. If done well, acknowledging some limitations and subjectivity, this method gives therapists firm rules to cling to while navigating through psychotherapy, rules that reflect established clinical wisdom. However, especially when wandering far from empirically supported recommendations, the author risks being dogmatic and failing to give readers clear ideas on when and how it would be appropriate to break the rules he has handed down. In Principles of Psychotherapy, Irving Weiner leans toward the latter method, providing a valuable step-by-step approach to the general practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Yet sometimes in recommending his methods in unequivocal terms, he fails to address how the same goals might be reached by different means. While broadening his approach would have lengthened the book, it might also have made his ideas more compelling to some readers by providing a more comprehensive context in which to understand and evaluate them.

Journal of Psychotherapy Integration - J PSYCHOTHER INTEGR, 2000

In this book, Arthur Bohart and Karen Tallman propose that clients are ''creative, active beings capable of generating their own solutions to personal problems if given the proper learning climate.'' This is not a novel notion. What makes this book different is that Bohart and Tallman actually believe it. The authors note that most therapists profess to honor the idea that change ultimately springs from the client, yet often act in ways which seem to indicate they believe clients are incapable of getting better without therapists. Many clinicians seem to feel that unless there is a professional providing direction and input-whether through specific techniques or corrective relationships-clients are likely to remain caught in webs of their own making and incapable of growth. Some therapists seem to feel clients (and perhaps people in general) are inherently self-deceptive and psychologically impaired in ways which will cripple their efforts without help from an expert change agent (i.e., the clinician). Other therapists have more faith in their clients' abilities, but seem to feel a need to provide something to clients-whether it be knowledge or positive regard-which the client then internalizes from the therapist. Both views are pessimistic about the client's ability to generate solutions from within. Bohart and Tallman, in contrast, see clients as inherently proactive, trying to move their lives forward, solve problems, and grow. They believe the healing virtue of psychotherapy is always a form of self-healing. In this view, there will be a positive thrust to even the most apparently negative behaviors; symptoms, repetitive maladaptive patterns, and ''resistance'' serve self-protective functions. More important, the client's inherent selfhealing tendency means that whatever a therapist provides to a client, the

im Therapieraum: Eine Auflistung von Sitzungstranskripten und ein Überblick über Publikationen, die sich auf Rogers' Therapiesitzungen beziehen Carl Rogers en el Consultorio: Una lista de las sesiones transcriptas y un relevamiento de publicaciones referidas a las sesiones de Rogers Carl Rogers in de therapiekamer: Lijst van sessietranscripten en overzicht van publicaties over casusmateriaal van Rogers Abstract. To facilitate psychotherapy research and the education of students in client-centered therapy, the authors present two lists: a 'Sessions List' of transcripts of Rogers' therapy sessions, including his demonstrations of client-centered therapy, and a 'Publications Survey' of the references to publications reporting studies of Rogers' sessions. Zusammenfassung. Um Psychotherapieforschung und die Ausbildung von Studierenden der Klientenzentrierten Therapie zu vereinfachen, präsentieren die Autoren zwei Listen: eine 'Sitzungsliste' von Transkripten von Rogers' Therapiesitzungen einschließlich seiner Demonstrationen Klientenzentrierter Therapie und einen 'Publikationsüberblick' über die Literaturangaben mit Studien zu Sitzungen von Rogers'.

In the practice of psychotherapy, philosophy and psychotherapy are intimately intertwined. Therapeutic interventions are guided as much by a therapist's philosophy as they are by an understanding of psychology and psychotherapeutic principles. Both philosophy and psychology attempt to address the question of what it means to be a human being. One gravitates toward certain philosophical assumptions in large part because they address fundamental personal, subjective themes in one's life. From a psychological perspective, one's philosophy can be seen as an artistic and abstract description of one's subjectivity. From a philosophical perspective, one's psychology can be seen as an embodied, personal expression of some of the various universal themes which philosophy is dedicated to articulating.
