Brief Strategic Therapy®

Utilizing over 25 years of clinical research and with 1000’s of patients successfully treated using our model of intervention known as Brief Strategic Therapy®, we have proven (Gibson 2014, 2016, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c, Nardone 2013, Portelli, 2007) that even though human problems can be persistent, complicated and painful, we do not always require a long and protracted form of intervention to solve the problem and relieve the suffering.

Our model has shown itself to be the most effective and efficient forms or treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorders disorder currently available anywhere (Ray & Nardone 2007).
