Collaborative Therapy

“…articulates the elements of collaborative therapy in a way that is inspiring and transformational for the reader. This book is an invitation to a conversation, a dialogue that can continue beyond its pages, into the reader’s professional and personal communities.”—Susan H. McDaniel Ph.D., Professor and Director of Family Programs & the Wynne Center for Family Research in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry

“This book ‘gets us into’ entirely new stuff. It takes us ‘right inside’ the moment-by-moment unfolding details of collaborative processes and, while also telling us about them, shows—lets us experience for ourselves—how these much needed processes in the world today exert their almost magical power to create new and better ways for us ‘to go on’ together. It’s a truly exciting read.” —John Shotter, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Communication, University of New Hampshire, author of Conversational Realities and Cultural Politics of Everyday Life

“This is the book I have been waiting for. With intellectual rigor wrapped in a language which makes the voice of the authors easily heard, a generous relationship develops between the reader and these brilliant thinkers. A brilliant book, a must for students as well as the seasoned practitioner.” —Toby Sigrún Herman, MHR, ECP, President, International Family Therapy Association

“Harlene Anderson and Diane Gehart are to be congratulated! They have brought together in one volume a group of leading-edge systemic scholar practitioners and edited an outstanding collection of chapters that will inspire and enthuse generations of trainees, supervisors, and mental health clinicians.” —Arlene Vetere, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the PsychD Programme in Clinical Psychology, University of Surrey, UK
