Description

Description:

The most common length of treatment is one session. In this workshop, guidelines will be presented for recognizing which patients are most likely to benefit from a single session and how we can provide it successfully. A structure will be presented for organizing the specific tasks and skills involved in different phases of therapy (pre-, early, middle, late, follow-through). Case examples, some on videotape, will illustrate brief therapy techniques applicable in a one-session-at-a-time therapy and in the course of longer treatments. The discussion will highlight productive attitudes, methods for finding a focus, ways of facilitating and utilizing clients' strengths, and application to workshop participants' own clinical cases. The presenter is the co-originator of the Single Session Therapy approach and has published widely and presented numerous workshops on brief and single session therapy.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate understanding of basic features of brief therapy.  
  2. Recognize tasks and skills associated with different phases of treatment.
  3. Identify guidelines for single session therapies.
  4. Describe numerous single session interventions.
  5. Demonstrate understanding of application to participants' own clinical cases.
