The 3-Point Therapist

Author(s) : Hilary A. Davies

Reviews and Endorsements

'A quirky book and a wonderfully enjoyable read, one that packs a punch. It may seem at first that the lessons are in one sense simple but in fact they are more subtle than that, and the way these '3 points' are handled is skilfully done. I found this enchanting!'
- Professor Michael Jacobs, author and psychotherapist

'I found this book delightfully idiosyncratic, ostensibly simplistic but actually a very useful read for people on clinical family therapy training. The underlying teaching points which some may consider basic are nonetheless essential and too often ignored in practice. It is short, very user-friendly and far less daunting early in training than some of the required reading often to be found on introductory course lists. An enjoyable read structured around the conversations between an experienced therapist and a confident supervisor; the latter demonstrates the importance of encouraging her supervisee to think more about her client family's experiences, responses and strengths rather than focussing on extending her own systemic reading and writing. In this practical approach to clinical work the supervisor listened more and intervened less, a process which served as an excellent model of both supervision and therapy. I recommend this warmly.'
- Judy Hildebrand, Consultant Family Therapist and former Clinical Director, Institute of Family Therapy, London
