Until quite recently, therapist training was predicated on the notion that therapy is an ongoing process. Single Session Integrated CBT (SSI-CBT) questions this. In this book, Windy Dryden takes long standing research on SSI therapy and transfers it to the field of CBT in a timely and conceptual application.
"Drawing from the work of Albert Ellis and others, this is the definitive guide to one-session work with clients using an active-directive, problem-focused integrated CBT approach. It also contains lots of ideas and practical tips that should be of interest for therapists of other theoretical persuasions wanting to help clients rapidly. Well done!" - Michael F. Hoyt, Ph.D., co-originator of the Single Session Therapy approach; author of Brief Psychotherapies and Some Stories Are Better than Others; coeditor of Capturing the Moment: Single Session Therapy and Walk-In Services and One at a Time: Single Session Therapy by Walk-In or Appointment. "One of a kind book! Windy Dryden provide us with a detailed and rich guidelines to be used with a wide variety of human problems, which often can be greatly helped by utilizing his integrative CBT approach in a single session consultation." - Dr. Moshe Talmon, author of Single Session therapy: Maximizing the effect of the first (and often only) Therapeutic encounter and Single session Solutions: A guide to practical, effective and affordable therapy, co-editor of Capturing the moment: Single-session therapy and walk-in services
