Rationale for ESBT-Brief Model How do therapists motivate clients to overcome
their resistance
Clients stay in treatment for from six to tensessions Clients report maximum gains after three to six
sessions
Brief therapy models have been found to have nosignificant difference in their effectiveness thanthose of long term therapy models (Budman &Gurman, 1988; Cummings, 1986; Budman &
Stone, 1983).

Therapists who hold to a Brief
Therapy model Have values & beliefs about what can & cannot be
accomplished in therapy Believe effective therapy results in the resolution of current
problems & not in the major modification of personality orcharacter structure
Believe their job is to fix leaks rather than build a customdesigned house form the ground up.
Establish challenging but limited goals for treatment Work toward insight but also facilitate behavior change Believe their primary goal is to initiate a healing process that
can continue throughout the clients lives (Gelso & Johnson
1983)

Why People Seek out Brief
Therapy Most people do not desire lengthy process to
uncover all subconscious and conscious drives
which affect their mental health. They seek out therapy because they are in some
form of crisis, which affects their mental well,being
They want to find coping strategies, which willassist them to alleviate their currentlyexperienced pain

Brief Therapy Helps Clients Identify whether or not they are light bulbs
wanting to be changed See if a match exists in their temperament and
personality styles with the therapists See if right mix of motivation and simpatico between
clients and therapist so change can occur in a briefperiod of time
If there is not a match, therapists need toencourage them to not pursue therapy until areadiness and willingness to do what it takes to
change so that they can become turned on lightbulbs.

Literature on Brief Therapy Leaders in brief therapy include: Bennett (1983,
1986); Budman (1988); Cummings (1986, 1988);de Shazer (1982, 1985, 1988); Haley (1985); the
MRI Group of Weakland, Fisch, Segal, andWatzlawick (1974, 1978, 1982); Strupp & Binder(1984); Talom, (1990); and Wells (1990).
Reviews of the research (Bloom, 1992; Rosenbaum,
Hoyt & Talmon, 1990; Hoyt, 1995; Rosenbaum,1994) repeatedly have found brief therapy aseffective as time-unlimited traditional therapies,regardless of diagnosis or duration of treatment.

I. Long-Term Therapists Seek change in basic character Believe that significant psychological change is
unlikely in every day life. See presenting problems as reflecting more
basic pathology.
Want to "be there" as clients make significantchanges.
8/14/2019 Eclect Ic St Ru Ct Ural Brief Th Er Apy
9/50
II. Long-Term Therapists1. See therapy as having a "timeless" quality &
works if clients are willing to wait for change.
2. Unconsciously recognize fiscal convenience ofmaintaining long-term clients.
3. View psychotherapy as almost always benignand useful.
4. See clients being in therapy as the mostimportant part of clients life

I. Short Term Therapists
1. Prefer pragmatism, parsimony and least radicalintervention & do not believe in notion of "cure."
2. Maintain adult developmental perspective fromwhich significant psychological change is viewedas inevitable.
3. Emphasize clients strengths and resources;
presenting problems are taken seriously4. Accept many changes will occur "after therapy"
and will not be observable to the therapist.
8/14/2019 Eclect Ic St Ru Ct Ural Brief Th Er Apy

II. Short Term Therapists1. Do not accept timelessness of some models
of therapy.
2. Fiscal issues often muted, either by thenature of the therapist's practices orstructure for reimbursement.
3. View psychotherapy as being sometimes
useful and sometimes harmful.4. See being in the world as more important
than being in therapy.

I. Assumptions about Clients
in Brief Therapy Model The clients have experienced "faulty learning
at some point in early life. The clients and their/her environment interact
and influence each other reciprocally. The interpersonal environment of the clients
is never neutral. It influences the clients
positively or negatively.
8/14/2019 Eclect Ic St Ru Ct Ural Brief Th Er Apy
13/50
II. Assumptions about Clients
in Brief Therapy Model Although personality, character, social supports
etc. are all very important in peoples life
patterns, chance encounters and chance eventsare also prominent factors in shaping life'scourse.
People understand experience, at least in part,
on the basis of their stage of development. There will be little to no therapy achieved until
the clients are ready to change.

I. Critical Therapist Factors inBrief Therapy- Therapist must:
Maintain clear, specific focus & structure Maintain active therapeutic role by suggesting activities or
insights, collaborating and problem solving using tasks,
homework assignments, by asking questions Remain aware of the value of "time" in process,each
session be valued as vital to the desired outcomes. Make time between sessions spent in carrying on the
therapeutic process by homework assignments: readings,journal writing, practice of new behaviors such as exercise,joining self-help groups, public speaking, volunteering &trying new interactional patterns in the family, marriage andwork or school setting if applicable.

II. Critical Therapist Factors inBrief Therapy - Therapist must:
Try new strategies, do something different, novel tomotivate & challenged clients to deal with the presentingproblems successfully
Be flexible, eclectic in a variety of treatment modalities forindividual, couple, family, group
Use innovative session duration and re-scheduling See end of treatment as interrupting vs. terminating
encourage clients recognize therapy is a process over wholelife cycle and can return on an as needed basis. Be clear with the clients: relapse is a part of recovery to
return to therapy is not failure but good common sense. Recognize disincentives:bias of training programs, too many
therapists, financial survival need

appear to benefit most from brief therapy are: Whose problems had a sudden or acute onset Were previously reasonably well-adjusted Could relate well with others
Had high initial motivation when entering the therapeutic process Brief therapy may be inappropriate for individuals whose
personal characteristics are in contrast to those notedabove & some types of psychological disturbances;substance abuse, psychosis, and personality disorders.

therapeutic process. Be motivated for change: light bulbs that are ready. Have social orientation relate problems in social context Have clear present problem or principle complaint, which can

I. Haleys (1985) tips toconsistently fail in brief therapy:
Do not attend to the presenting problem of theclients.
Dealing with the clients past is essential so dealwith it extensively.
Focus only on symptoms. Predict a worsening of the symptoms or symptom
substitution. Over focus on clients diagnosis & criteria necessary
for diagnosis. You must use only ONE theoretical framework. Don't be directive.

II. Haleys (1985) tips toconsistently fail in brief therapy:
Assume change must be observable to be realchange.
Insist on years of treatment to bring about
change. Evoke guilt in the clients. Ignore the clients wanting quick results. Don't define goals in therapy. Don't collaborate with your clients. Assume all responsibility for success or failure the
clients in therapy. Don't evaluate your effectiveness.
