Single Session Therapy: A Clinical Introduction to Principles and Practices explores the best ways to use a Single Session Therapy (SST) mindset to better achieve therapeutic goals.

This text presents comprehensive ideas and methods on how to make a single session of therapy efficient and effective with individuals, couples, and families, including those of various cultural backgrounds. It emphasizes productive mindsets and includes the following topics: concepts and methods, multi-theoretical approaches, training, various clinical problems and multicultural populations, the latest research findings, access, and implementation. Numerous clinical examples from different expert SST practitioners are presented and discussed throughout.

This book is an essential reference for professionals involved in brief therapy practice, research, and teaching.

“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!”
