Review:

"More than a decade and a revolution in health care delivery has passed since time limited psychotherapies were reviewed in the American Psychiatric Updates. Time-limited psychotherapy, for better or worse, is no longer the exceptional treatment. A body of empirical data is accumulating to support the efficacy of at least some of them. Dr. Mackenzie's scholarly and non-dogmatic snapshot of the most well studied time-limited psychotherapies is a service to the field."-- "Myra M. Weissman, Ph.D., Professor of Epidemiology in, Psychiatry, College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, New York"
