Sinopsis

In this book, Professor Dryden outlines seven core principles ofáSingle-Session Therapy (SST). Beginning with a discussion ofáissuesáconcerning the nature of SST, he puts forward the view that single-session therapy is best understood within the context in which it isápractised. He then outlines central features of single-session thinking or what is known as the single-session mindset which underpins good SST practice. Professor Dryden makes the point that SST is not severalásessions crammed into one. Rather, it is complete in itself and has itsáown process which he carefully outlines.One of the most frequently asked questions about single-session therapy stems from the doubts that therapists have about the possibilityáof forming a good therapeutic relationship in a single session.áProfessor Dryden shows that forming such a relationship is possible and argues that effective SST is based on the development and maintenance of a good working alliance and discusses the maináfeatures of this alliance.ááProfessor Dryden emphasizes that the effective practice of single-session therapy is based on (a) consensual views of good practiceáthat stem from the single-session mindset and (b) individualácontributions from therapists based on their views of what constitutesáeffective practice. In illustrating the latter, Professor Dryden discussesáwhat he brings to the practice of SST from his own ways of workingáas a clinician.
