The Present Is a Gift

In this extraordinary new collection of essays and interviews, Michael Hoyt extends the vision of "Some Stories Are Better than Others" as he explores how narrative construction and "storying" can make therapy more effective and efficient. Combining a personal, down-to-earth style with an encyclopedic knowledge of the professional literature, he draws from extensive clinical experience as well as humor, poetry, and candid revelation to illustrate the importance of language and worldviews that inspire and empower. "The Present is a Gift" will provide a rich reading experience for anyone interested in good stories and strength-based time-sensitive therapy.
