In this book, Windy Dryden focuses on the seven principles that underpin the live therapy demonstrations that he does in front of live and online audiences. Beginning with the multi-purposive nature of doing these sessions, Professor Dryden discusses the context of these sessions and the three frameworks that guide his therapeutic work while conducting them. He then takes a process view of his work, arguing that it is important to begin well and co-create a focus that will facilitate understanding of the volunteer's nominated problem. Such understanding guides the search for a solution that is at the heart of the process. Once a solution has been selected by the volunteer, rehearsed and an implementation plan developed, Professor Dryden argues that it is important to end these demonstration sessions on a good note.

Also included in this book are the transcripts of two live therapy demonstrations given by Windy Dryden with his accompanying commentary..
