The assumption that therapy should always be long term
has been challenged repeatedly over the last twenty-five years. The difficulty
is that Single-Session Therapy has become associated in many therapists minds
with being "money driven”, "superficial” and "poor quality”. This workshop sets
the record straight and enables participants to learn how to work with clients
for one session and achieve realistic but positive results. An integrated
approach to SST utilising a number of CBT and other techniques and strategies
will be presented.
The workshop will outline the basis of Single-Session
Therapy (SST) and show, in particular, how it can provide help at the point of client
need. In addition, SST can provide a flexible approach that gives clinicians and services potential solutions to challenges such as waiting lists. Real life (not role played) demonstrations of a single session
approach with volunteers will be presented
