RESOLVE - A New Model of Therapy
Richard Bolstad Target audience: Therapists and NLPers Summary of content: Four chapters, beginning with how to use the book. Chapter two outlines the neurology of the brain, how that effects our sensory perception and our states. Also how the TOTE model of our systemic processes operate. Chapter three describes 'Choices for Change', and includes anchoring, submodality work, trancework, parts, time-line, reframing, interpersonal dynamics, physiological contexts, and tasking. Chapter four describes the RESOLVE model in detail. Richard concludes with his description of his beliefs about how psychotherapy is about choosing life, not psychotherapy; this is a typical illustration of Richard's values.There is a 14-page bibliography (excellent!) Finally, there is a comprehensive index. Recommended features: Richard weaves clear process descriptions with personal anecdotes, and research into NLP: a rare and welcome approach. Given his extensive experience stemming from his nursing background, Richard presents this work in a very readable style that exudes his caring and optimistic approach to human change. Personal impressions: I like this book. In fact, I recommend it to my own students. Even though Richard states that other books give a clearer self-help approach (e.g., Andreas & Faulkner, 1996), it is a valuable aid to practitioners. The main bonus of this book is the RESOLVE model itself, outlining, as it does, an excellent and practical model for "doing" therapy.
RESOLVE takes the bones of most Practitioner modules and pins them to a practical framework. Through his use of anecdotes, quotes, research findings, and practical models, this is a most useful text.
