Description: Becoming Miracle Workers provides a detailed exploration of brief therapy, a postmodern treatment mode that treats client's problems as social constructions, while encouraging those seeking treatment to replace personal troubles (negative stories) with new problem-solving skills (positive stories). Based on twelve years of research and observation, Miller's book describes in practicable detail how this method is employed in one of the most innovative and important centers of brief therapy in the world.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 227-231) and index.
