You've been (Re) Framed! - By: G. W. Evans, 22 May 2006 
I consider this book to be a classic... Its over thirty years old & I think it holds its own even now. Also if its good enough for Erickson then nuff said. The book provides both a detailed & comprehensive model of problems & change & also some excellent techniques & methods for unsticking & shifting things.
It is a book more suited to the therapist drawn to the brief strategic approach, who has recognised that alll interactions in therapy create influence & who is therefore most interested in how to use this influence to help people get out of their unresourceful (and oft painful - whatever that means!) places as quickly as is possible. So if this means utilising paradox, binds, indirect suggestion, then fine...
I recommend it whole-heartedly. It is both illuminating & practical & together with 'tactics of change' (a later work by the same MRI group) is a good resource for the budding brief therapist. Why alll you then need do is throw in some deShazer, O'Hanlon & of course some Bandler & Grinder & you'll be laughin' alll the way..!
Excellent stuff.
One of the most important books of the 20th Century - By: , 18 Feb 1999 This book is a summation, & a deceptively simple one, of the MRI's research into change: what it is, how it happens & how to stop it. The findings, stories & approaches presented will be generating new thoughts in readers into the next century as well. Quite simply reauired reading for therapists, change agents, facilitators & consultants.
I've thought this for five years, & have as yet found no reason to revise my views. Only time will tell if this work is to receive the acclaim it fully deserves.
