The very next day I began putting into practise some of the key points of SST in the course of ongoing “conventional” sessions, and I have to say that I noticed an im-provement in my subjective experience in terms of: - focus on the patient’s goal within the specific session; - more accurate restating of resources and engagement in therapy (which, I noticed, increases the feeling of partnership in the process); - and, most of all, improved results in terms of effectiveness, of systematic feedback during the session!! All this leads me to say I’m delighted to have acquired this new methodology and I’m very happy to continue sharing new developments in SST and my personal experiences!

The latest news about Single-Session Therapy

How to conduct an SST with the family the guidelines of the Bouverie Centre

A frequent question when it comes to Single Session Therapy is whether this method can be applied to all areas of intervention, one of these is that which concerns work with families .

 Although family work is recognized as important and precious, still today in many cases it is considered as a complex intervention which requires specific preparation , a long time and many resources to be carried out . These beliefs often turn into real obstacles for both professionals and people who ask for help, refusing to offer or ask for services suited to the needs of families.

In today ‘s article we will refer to a study that will show us how to treat non-traumatic fear of flying through the Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach (Shapiro, 2000) in a Single Session (Newgent et al. , 2016).

 

 What is the purpose of the study?

The purpose of the study is to show how EMDR treatment can adapt to the client’s needs and also be applied through a Single Session. In this case the treatment of the non-traumatic fear of flying is carried out directly in flight .

The foundations of single-session therapy: a history of risk and safety

With today ‘s article we will talk about the fundamentals of Single Session Therapy , but we will do so starting from the description of a clinical case in which TSS was applied within a Walk-in service of the Eastside Family Center located in Calgary (Canada).

A few weeks ago we had already addressed the issue of the Single Session/Walk-in and how this method of intervention is used effectively within these mental health services (Slive, McElheran, Lawson, 2008) .  

Today, however, we will focus on the foundations that characterize it and guide its practice .
