"Brief multimodal therapy is behavior therapy in one of its most advanced forms. It is efficient, effective, teachable, demonstratably valid, and comprehensive without being rigid." -From the Foreword by Cyril M. Franks, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University

"Arnold Lazarus offers a thoughtful, highly practical framework for applying a broad range of specific technical interventions-an approach that should be most welcome in todays managed care environment. I especially liked his well-illustrated combination of conceptual rigor and trenchant, humanistic common sense." -Michael Hoyt, PhD, Author, Brief Therapy and Managed Care, Editor, Constructive Therapies, Vols. 1 & 2

"Brief But Comprehensive Psychotherapy: The Multimodal Way substantially advances the practice of short-term psychotherapy. Dr. Lazarus distills his many years of experience as a master clinician and teacher and outlines the fundamentals of multimodal therapy in an exciting and readable fashion. The text is presented with Dr. Lazarus' usual lucid style with many illustrative case excerpts and examples. I highly recommend this volume to everybody in the mental health field, from students to advanced psychotherapists." -Aaron T. Beck, MD, University Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania
