SINGLE SESSION THERAPY: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

抄録

　The author － who was one of the originators of the SST approach － provides definitions of Single Session Therapy (SST) and Single Session Intervention (SSI), as well as a brief history of Single Sessions, discussion of some key concepts and challenges, and his expectations about likely developments. He notes that the field is evolving and that innovations will be needed. He emphasizes that SST should not be thought of as just or even primarily a strategy to conserve resources or manage waiting lists. More importantly, it is respectful and ethical to provide services that empower clients and help them to achieve their goals as soon as they can.
