"Rarely is a book generated by a conference as good or better than the genuine thing. Therapeutic Conversations is this and more. A star-studded cast of theorists and practitioners talk about 'generating possibilities through therapeutic conversations.' Each presentation is accompanied by a reflective commentary, and often the presenter's commentary on this commentary--blending to sharpen the ideas and capture the essence and spirit of the conference's conversational style. Unquestionably, Therapeutic Conversations has to be the best source available for bringing into focus the similarities and the differences among these contributors. Where else can you eavesdrop on what White thinks of de Shazer or what de Shazer thinks of what White thinks of de Shazer!" --Harlene Anderson, Ph.D., Houston Galveston Institute.
