Abstract

As I discussed in the previous chapter, unless your client wants to use the session to talk in an unstructured way, then the session in single-session therapy requires a structure. It can be seen to have a beginning, a middle and an end. It is helpful to think in terms of this structure as you conduct the session because it will aid you in using time wisely (see Chapter 4 ).
