About this book
Even in one session a therapist can make a difference. The second edition of Single-Session Therapy enables therapists to work with clients for one session and achieve possible and realistic results.
This book presents the 100 main features of the approach, providing an accessible, succinct overview. Based on the author's extensive work demonstrating the effectiveness of Single-Session Therapy (SST), this concise and practical book covers topics such as:
- The goals of SST
- Characteristics of 'good' SST clients
- Responding effectively to the client's very first contact
- Creating and maintaining a working focus
- Making an emotional impact
Updated with refocused key points and references, this second edition will also include new information about therapists' misconceptions of SST, the single-session mindset, and the working alliance.
Both concise and practical, the book will be invaluable to psychotherapists and counsellors in training and practice.
