Robert Taibbi is a licensed clinical social worker with forty-plus years’ experience, primarily in community mental health working with couples and families as a clinician, supervisor, and clinical director. He is the author of nine books.
"Robert Taibbi authentically demonstrates his organic
client-centered therapeutic stance in this new book, a tremendous
asset for students and new clinicians. He very clearly explains
essential tools and techniques of brief therapy using two powerful
teaching methods: thoughtful clinical illustrations along with
directions to navigate brief therapy. His work with clients is fast
paced yet organized by rapid assessment and directed with a clear
treatment map for each system. Another great book for my
students."
Victoria A. Fitton, PhD, LMSW, ACSW, clinical associate professor,
Ruth Koehler Endowed Professorship in Children Services, Michigan
State University"Taibbi's writing will take you effortlessly,
knowledgeably, and memorably through a series of lessons that cover
the essence of what makes for the expert practice of brief therapy
with couples and families in crisis—its defining features and
how-to tools in seamlessly integrated theory, technique, and
clinical illustrations. You will learn and enjoy doing so."
Harry J. Aponte, LCSW, LMFT, clinical associate professor, Drexel
University, co-editor of The Person of the Therapist Training
Model: Mastering the Use of Self "Startlingly simple, lucid, and
wise, Taibbi’s book is a gift to all of us clinicians, experienced
and beginners alike. Many of us are overwhelmed with the demands of
treating clients in crisis with only a very limited number of
sessions possible. Taibbi provides a step-by-step guide to doing
highly efficient and effective work with this difficult population.
I would make it mandatory for all graduate students. Perhaps, more
importantly, I would urge even the most senior among us to read
this book. I am definitely an ‘old dog’ and Taibbi taught me some
‘new tricks.’ Thank you, Robert."

Guide to Collaborative Couples Therapy
