In Single Session Therapy, the authors delve into the principles and practices that define a Single Session Therapy (SST) approach.

The book emphasizes the importance of maximizing the therapeutic impact of a single session, making it a valuable resource for mental health professionals seeking to enhance their practice.
The text provides a wealth of ideas and techniques aimed at ensuring that each therapy session is both efficient and impactful. It covers a wide range of scenarios involving individuals, couples, and families, with a particular focus on accommodating various cultural backgrounds. By discussing multi-theoretical approaches and addressing diverse clinical problems, Single Session Therapy equips practitioners with the tools they need to navigate complex therapeutic landscapes.
Additionally, the book highlights the latest research findings and offers insights into training and implementation strategies. With numerous clinical examples from expert practitioners, readers are presented with practical applications of the SST model. This comprehensive guide serves as an essential reference for professionals involved in brief therapy, whether in practice, research, or education.
“Michael Hoyt is clearly the best expert on the subject of this book. As an author, editor, researcher and psychotherapist he has more than 30 years of intensive experience. He is the highest authority on the topic. This is an outstanding book for people wanting to learn about SST. It is clearly helpful for a wide variety of professionals and graduate students, including psychologists, counselors, family therapists, occupational counselors and others working both in clinics and in independent practice.”
Moshe Talmon, Ph.D. author of Single Session Therapy: Maximizing the Effect of the First (and Often Only) Therapeutic Encounter
“This is THE book to read about SST. Hoyt is an originator and integrator par excellence, and readers both new to SST and those already practicing SST will be well rewarded. Highly recommended!”
Flavio Cannistrà, Psy.D.,Director, Italian Center for Single Session Therapy
“An introduction to a field should always be done by an established expert so complex issues can be presented simply, clearly, in depth and in context. Dr Hoyt is such an expert, and he provides an elegant introduction to the field of Single Session Therapy (SST). Lead editor of three previous texts on SST, Hoyt’s introduction to the field fills an important gap. If you want to understand SST, and have your practice be informed by Single Session Thinking, buy it!”
