Session Seven: Single Session Thinking and Practice: One Session at a Time

August 10, 2023 to August 11, 2023

Single Session Therapy (SST) can be defined as therapy that the therapist and client expect, from the beginning, to potentially comprise a single visit. The therapist acts as if the first session will be the last. SST is therapy approached one-session-at-a-time. Research shows that one session is, de facto, the most common length of therapy; and that SST is often effective for a variety of problems. A structure will be presented for organizing the tasks and skills involved in different phases (pre, early, middle, late, follow-through) of therapy.  Numerous case examples, including videos, will illustrate techniques useful both in both single sessions and in the course of longer treatments.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand basic features of brief therapy
  • Recognize tasks and skills, including useful questions and specific techniques, associated with different phases of treatment,
  • Clarify single session mindset, learn guidelines for single session therapies, and study numerous single session interventions
  • Consider application to participants’ own clinical cases.
