A seminal work on Strategic Logic, this book brings together twenty years of clinical research and, for the first time, systematically formalizes the principles of Brief Strategic Psychotherapy.
The text shows that therapeutic change does not stem from an abstract theory, but from the solution itself: it is through what works that we come to understand the problem.
Translated into major languages and published in English-speaking countries under the title *The Logic of Therapeutic Change* (2015).
A practical guide for school administrators and teachers who find themselves dealing with increasingly complex situations: disciplinary issues, interpersonal problems, difficult group dynamics, and parental expectations.
Through problem-solving and strategic communication, the book offers practical tools for turning limitations into resources and developing effective educational leadership.
Also translated into Spanish.
An essential read for anyone who works with young people.
It starts from a fundamental premise: anger and aggression in adolescents are not meaningless behaviors, but forms of communication that mask a real sense of distress.
Through clinical case studies and session transcripts, the book explains how Brief Strategic Therapy effectively addresses bullying, self-harm, and violence toward others and oneself.
