A Guide to Possibility Land: Fifty-One Methods for Doing Brief, Respectful Therapy
William Hudson O'Hanlon, Sandy Beadle, Bill O'Hanlon, Sandy Beadle

The power of this 86-page handbook lies in its simplicity and clarity. It is a ‘must have’ for any therapist, and a ‘should have’ for anyone who is interested in improving their abilities to solve problems, create beneficial outcomes and find possibilities when others can't.

Each one of the 51 methods in Possibility Land gets its own page, which include ‘Framing difficulty as a stage’, ‘Use metaphors and stories’, Find competence’, ‘Magic Wand questions’ and ‘Multiple choice’.

I've got a feeling that, in time, A Guide to Possibility Land may become one of the most 'thumbed' books in our library.
