Contemporary societies generate uninterrupted truths of psychic problems, whose resolution goes beyond the possibilities of classical psychoanalysis. Thus, there is a need for more and more urgent need for new therapeutic techniques that, without denying long-term procedures, aspire to a more flexible and forceful intervention, with a view to obtaining rapid results when there are no deep disturbances. Leonard Small's book is an excellent summary of the studies about brief psychotherapy and puts at the reader's immediate reach the experience of a very large number of psychotherapists who have managed to break the psychotherapy field, taking great advantage of the processes of accelerated treatment.
