Brief strategic therapy in a child community clinic. A follow-up report.
This paper reports the outcome of brief strategic therapy, practiced according to the model described by S. de Shazer, in an out-patient child psychiatry clinic during 4 years. Forty-two clients were interviewed in a span of 6 to 18 months after termination of therapy and asked about symptomatic improvement and satisfaction with the treatment. The results showed that brief strategic therapy achieved lasting complaint resolution in a high percentage of cases, high satisfaction rates with little relapse or need for additional interventions.
