Abstract

Unless your client wants to use the session to talk in an interrupted way about whatever they choose and for you to listen, a session in single-session therapy needs to be focused. A focus can be created with your client from the problem that your client wants to address, the solution they want to find or the goal they want to achieve. Once a focus in single-session therapy has been created, you need to help your client maintain this focus.
