Research shows that many of these clients are satisfied with the help they receive and do not seek further sessions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this concise and accessible introduction, Windy Dryden presents an overview of the evolution of single-session therapy and discusses its core principles for practitioners and students considering training in the approach. The book outlines how therapists can work purposefully within a single encounter, treating each session as a complete therapeutic opportunity while remaining open to future work if the client wishes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text introduces the single-session therapy mindset and offers practical suggestions for developing a working alliance with clients quickly, co-creating a focus, making effective use of limited time, and supporting meaningful change without compressing several sessions into one meeting.
