I bought this book to learn more about SFBT for a paper. Once I got into the book, I really enjoyed it. Guterman is a transformed REBT therapist and uses solution-focused therapy now. He gives detailed examples of how SFBT can be used to treat a plethora of mental illnesses and a case study of a particularly tough client of his. A great read for any therapist or future therapist.

I found this book to be extremely helpful and useful. It really addresses the art of solution focused work and is a must read for counselors and therapists at all levels of experience.

A well crafted tome. Guterman's book Mastering the Art of Solution-Focused Counseling is an important resource for helping counselors learn the theory and practice of this innovative approach. The book includes both complex theoretical underpinnings and practical clinical guidelines. I strongly recommend this book for clinicians interested in working from a solution-focused perspective. The only quibble I have about this book is that I was left wanting a bit more. But this seems appropriate given the minimalist approach set forth in solution-focused counseling and the "less is better" philosophy that Guterman advocates.

An excellent read for beginning therapists. Solution Focused therapy is one of my favorite models to work from. Dr Guterman is insightful, poignant and engaging.

The book was required for the Fall Semester 2011. The professor posted the text requirements rather late. Fortunately I was able to order and receive the text in a prompt fashion, just in time for class. The book arrived in the condition described.

awesome job in getting this book to me.. I felt the information in the book is just what I needed for my studies. It helped me choose my theory..

Used in a Masters level Cybernetics of Cybernetics system thinking class. Of all the textbooks out there for such complex theories this is an easy read. I high reccomend!

First, let me admit something. The author is my husband. So, it is hard, even nearly impossible for me to be objective in my review of this book. Despite this, I still think the book has merit. It is easy to read and very entertaining. I think it describes the ideas of solution-focused counseling in a clear and straightforward way. There are many case examples and Jeffrey writes with a unique style. So, I suggest counselors go ahead and buy this book and read it.
