[Andrew Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really helpful book, at both a theoretical and a practical level. It collects together a range of effective techniques, as you might expect from the title. But it also groups them helpfully in different categories, (Gestalt, Thinking Environment, Existential etc) and each category is introduced with an explanation of the underlying philosophy, and practical advice to consider when engaging with it. Likewise, each technique or experiment is written in a structured way, to help you understand what you are doing and how you might go about it, as well as useful cautions to be aware of. Colleagues and I have used a number of these in practice already, and all have been valuable.
