Talmon, Moshe [1950-]

Single-session therapy : maximizing the effect of the first (and often only) therapeutic encounter - San Francisco Jossey-Bass 1990 - 146 p. ; 24 cm. - Jossey-Bass social and behavioral science series .

Includes bibliographical references (p. 137-142) and index. How to use limited therapeutic time most efficiently? Research shows that many clients seeking therapeutic help attend for one session only - no matter what their therapist's orientation or approach. Moshe Talmon demonstrates how therapists can turn this single encounter into a positive therapeutic experience. Based on a study of hundreds of singleĀ–session cases, this book offers a realistic, practical approach to using a single session to prompt substantial changes in patients' lives. The author describes how to make the most of patients' innate ability to heal themselves - presenting insights into bolstering the patient's existing strengths, restoring autonomy and confidence, and offering solutions that the patient can implement immediately.
