The Work of Luigi Boscolo, M.D.: “A Couple of Friends”
The work of the Milan Systemic therapy is demonstrated in this training tape. A couple with the presenting complaint of not enough sex, money or time receive a consult which yields much new information from questions asked by Dr. Boscolo. The systemic questioning process as an intervention is demonstrated in this interview. (This is the best demonstration of the Milan Approach in the library. The Master Series Ceccin/Boscolo tape was returned as it was not a very good tape. BR) This tape is an enactment of an actual interview. (50 min)

Narratives and graphics highlight some of the methods and techniques used in this therapy approach. (This tape is the only video in which a therapist is seen interviewing the children by themselves. My “Child Therapy” students like the tape and found Goolishian’s style accessible for them as beginning therapists. (BR.) (60 min.)
The Work of David Epston: “Recommitment to a Marriage”
