EXTRA QUIRKY BEHAVIOURAL   PSYCHOTHERAPY

Douglas A Quirk M.A., C.Psych. (1931-1997)

This book consists of psychotherapy case studies, with the addition of a description of an adjunct to biofeedback.  It is about both the wide range of human problems and some pragmatic treatments for them. It also demonstrates how psychotherapy can be terrific fun for all concerned, how it can be quite inexpensive, and how it can ignore the unconscious.  Psychotherapy is a way to provide relevant assistance to solve resistant problems that don’t yield to help from friends, clergy, or physicians.  Almost everybody can benefit from psychotherapy.  Almost nobody has to be crazy, crooked, or addicted.

Douglas Quirk’s knowledge of psychotherapy was phenomenal; and one of the reasons for assembling these case studies was to serve as a quick course in psychotherapy.  Any budding clinical psychologist could not help but be enthralled and enriched by “watching” this experienced psychologist in action.
