[edit] Background

Yes, But... shows a brief therapy (and not a psychoanalysis) with all its techniques: transactional analysis, gestalt, Ericksonian hypnosis, systemic therapy, paradoxical prescriptions, humor, visualisation.

Richard Fisch, director of the Brief Therapy Center in Palo Alto, called Yes, But... "a gem". Psychotherapist Alan D. Entin says Yes, But... gives a very accurate portrayal of his occupation.
