Interweaving theoretical ideas with case examples and commentary, Hedges, head of Roehampton U. Counseling Services, presents key concepts from systematic therapy, social constructionism, narrative approaches and discursive psychology. She also describes ways in which therapists can maintain an ethical stance toward change when their positions differ from their clients' wishes. The appendices include an explanation of the five-part session and a glossary. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
