Jay Haley Livres

Long known as the world's leading medical hypnotist, Milton H. Erikson developed a strategic approach - for individuals, couples and families - that uses hypnotic-therapy skills in observing and motivating people. His ideas and procedures have been widely used to sharpen the techniques of therapists of many different schools. Jay Haley provides a look at Dr. Erickson's theories in practice, through description and excerpts from Erickson's case studies.--From back cover.

This classic volume, long out of print, deals with the strategies of both psychotherapists and clients as they maneuver each other in the process of treatment. How a therapist induces a client to change is described within a framework of interpersonal theory and directive family therapy. This work represents a step from the study of therapy in terms of the individual to therapy as communication between at least two people. In this volume, Jay Haley acknowledges his debt to the Gregory Bateson research project exploring the nature of communication as well as to Dr. Milton H. Erickson, M.D. for the many hours of conversations and a new perspective on the nature of therapy. The reactions to this different view continue to be controversial today in the therapy field.

Das Buch beginnt mit einer Darstellung des großen Machtstrategen Jesus Christus, beleuchtet dann die Machtverhältnisse in Zweierbeziehungen und nimmt sich danach das therapeutische Feld vor: Haley übt Kritik an der Medikamenten-Psychiatrie, verteidigt auf überraschende Weise die Psychoanalyse, schürt aber gleichzeitig generell die Skepsis psychologischen Theorien gegenüber und stellt die Wirksamkeit von Therapien infrage.

Aus der Perspektive langjähriger Erfahrung mit chronischen Patienten erklärt Haley, wie und warum unangenehme Direktiven in der Therapie funktionieren. In zahlreichen Fallbeispielen illustriert er, wie diese spezielle Interventionstechnik Einzelpatienten, Paaren und Familien bei vielen Problemen helfen kann. Haley diskutiert die theoretische Basis seines Ansatzes auch im Zusammenhang mit Ericksons Theorie der Veränderung und demonstriert sorgfältig spezifische Vorgehensweisen, die dem einzelnen Patienten gerecht werden. Wer strategische Interventionen zu schätzen weiß, wird Haleys Anregungen mit Vergnügen und einem gewissen Augenzwinkern aufnehmen.
