OverviewThe new edition of Single-Session Therapy: Distinctive Features provides an up-to-date general introduction to the field of Single-Session Therapy (SST). Written by eminent clinician and author Windy Dryden, this book challenges mainstream therapeutic assumptions, predicated on the certainty that clients will have more than one therapy session. Following the popular Distinctive Features format, the book is divided into two sections, with 15 chapters describing theoretical features and 15 offering practical techniques of SST. Updates to the revised edition include new chapters on the importance of the working alliance in SST, on different types of help that clients seek from SST and on common errors in SST and how to avoid them. Single-Session Therapy will be of interest to those across the psychotherapy and counselling professions and will provide extensive guidance for students, trainees and practitioners alike.
