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