About this title

Review:

Carefully crafted single session interventions can produce significant and enduring results. Drs. Hoyt and Talmon and their confreres, all experts in this art form, show the reader how to consistently accomplish immediate psychotherapeutic results. --Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor, Governors State University

Hoyt and Talmon and their colleagues have not only demonstrated the effectiveness of brief therapy, but theirs is a timely answer to psychotropic medications which seldom are either appropriate or effective. --Nicholas A. Cummings, PhD, ScD, President, Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health, and Former President, American Psychological Association

This book will force you to think in a new way about psychotherapy and about the efficacy of single session therapy (SST). It is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn about what can be accomplished in one visit. Any reservations you may hold about SST are thoroughly addressed. This excellent book is filled with a wide variety of case studies, empirical reviews, practical guidelines and personal anecdotes of leaders in the field of SST and walk-in clinics. Kudos to Hoyt and Talmon for bringing this timely collection together. --Donald H. Meichenbaum, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Research Director of the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment, Miami, Florida
