Single-Session Therapy by Walk-In or Appointment

"What a great book! From Melbourne to Minnesota, from Calgary to Cambodia, from Sweden to San Antonio, this volume expands our knowledge and skills about Single-Session Therapy — the body of research that now supports it, the case reports that illustrate its many forms, and the training needed to practice in this way."

-Susan H. McDaniel, Ph.D., ABPP, Dr. Laurie Sands Distinguished Professor; Director, Institute for the Family in Psychiatry; Vice Chair of Family Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine; coauthor of Medical Family Therapy and Integrated Care

"This informative and engaging book features detailed accounts of single-session therapy and highlights ways to implement walk-in clinics in a culturally sensitive fashion. Kudos to these pioneers for providing innovative ways to offer mental-health services."

-Donald H. Meichenbaum, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada; and Research Director of the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment, Miami, Florida; author of Roadmap to Resilience and The Evolution of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

"If you've believed that clients who attend only one session are treatment failures, think again! There is growing evidence that one session may be all many people need to help them harness their inner resources and resilience. This landmark book is eye-opening, humbling and more than anything else, a must-read for clinicians and administrators alike."

-Michele Weiner-Davis, M.S.W., author of Divorce Busting, The Sex-StarvedMarriage, Healing from Infidelity

"It is propitious to have readily available single-session therapy for those who often desperately seek the relief that psychiatry and psychotropic medications have not and are not able to provide. This book illustrates incisive and immediate interventions for such patients."

-Nicholas A. Cummings, Ph.D., Sc.D., former President, American Psychological Association; President, Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health; author of The Collected Papers of Nicholas A. Cummings and Understanding the Behavioral Healthcare Crisis

"Single Session Therapy by Walk-In or Appointment opens our eyes to the power of the single session as a service delivery model that crosses theoretical orientations, cultures, and contexts. This collection offers an outstanding guide for practice."

-Shelley Green, Ph.D., Professor of Family Therapy, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida; co-editor, Quickies: The Handbook of Brief Sex Therapy
