Contents:
Understanding the issues. What makes questions important? ; What are the roles of questions in human functioning? ; What are the roles of questions in therapy? -- Question-centered therapy with individuals. Overview of question-centered therapy ; Unfolding the map : the beginning of the journey ; Getting started : the case of Andrea ; Midway on the road : the case of Beth ; The learner self and the judger self ; The learner/judger selves in action ; Therapy as journey and destination : the case of Sophia ; A single-visit stop on the trip : the case of Brian -- Question-centered therapy with couples. It takes two to tango ; All's fair in love and war--or is it? ; "If I am for myself only, what am I?" ; The case of Julie and Jim Quinn -- Conclusion. With our questions we make the world.
Summary: The Art of the Question extends the range of cognitive-behavioral therapy by elaborating on the ways that internal questions program thought, emotion, and behavior. The term "internal dialogue" is routinely invoked to describe the thinking process, yet a dialogue involves statements and questions. Statements alone tell only half the story and allow only an incomplete understanding of the thinking process. Recognizing that questions drive thoughts, feelings, and actions brings unique and powerful therapeutic advantages to the fore, helping to crack the code on change.Summary: The question-driven nature of choice is one of the pillars of question-centered therapy. The Art of the Question offers practical psycho-educational tools to help clients create better choices, be more effective in the ways they make choices, and take responsibility for their decisions. Clients learn to ask questions leading to solutions and positive possibilities, rather than those focusing on problems, negativity, and limitations. They discover that healing, growth, creativity, and change are often catalyzed through the simple act of changing their questions. Question-centered methods are complementary to any therapy orientation. Moreover, advanced clinicians, as well as beginning ones, can discover strategies to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of short-term therapy. The Art of the Question has multidisciplinary reach into education, communication theory and training, and organizational and business consulting.
