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