The heart of this book, presented in its middle part, is the material on the Gordian Pillars of Strategic Psychotherapy. The pillars were developed to articulate an approach to strategic psychotherapy developed over more than a dozen years of clinical practice of working with clients presenting with a wide range of complaints. 'Gordian Pillars' is a mixed metaphor. The pillars are the cognitive and behavioural patterns that support a given problem in the way a pillar supports a building. By "problems" we mean conditions like anxiety, depression, or addiction, and even such behaviours as procrastination and dichotomous thinking. The Gordian aspect refers to the mythological Gordian knot, which has come to be a metaphor for an intractable problem. This guide will show you how to untangle client issues and address them in a systematic way.

As such, IMPROVISATIONAL THERAPY is a book that will be valued by all who do clinical work.
