As psicoterapias breves são uma modalidade de atendimento aplicável em contextos institucionais, especialmente na saúde pública. Apesar da disseminação de que essas psicoterapias seriam uma 'abreviação' temporal da modalidade de longo prazo, elas exigem, na realidade, conhecimento teórico-técnico que possibilitem que uma psicoterapia seja breve e tenha bons resultados. O livro reúne contribuições de psicoterapeutas e pesquisadores sobre propostas de psicoterapia breve de diferentes orientações teóricas que permitirão ao leitor uma visão ampla da teoria e da prática dessa modalidade de psicoterapia. Inicia-se com uma seção que trata de aspectos teórico-técnicos mais gerais para, em seguida, apresentar algumas das diversas propostas que praticamos na atualidade.

This hard-headed critique updates our understanding of economics for the twenty-first century, exposing a system with devastating consequences even for those who think they are not vulnerable. From finance to mining, the complex t...
