Synopsis

In this book, Windy Dryden presents how he works with anxiety in Single-Session Therapy (SST). In doing so, he provides a transcript of an actual session he did with 'Elizabeth', who wanted help with health anxiety. Windy provides an in-depth analysis of the session as it unfolded, demonstrating how his approach is tailored to what the client wants to take away from the session and does not follow a manualised approach to health anxiety. In addition, 'Elizabeth's' follow-up questionnaire is presented, which was completed three months after her session with Windy. Finally, Windy reflects on some issues that his work with 'Elizabeth' raises, including her reflections as appropriate, and makes some concluding remarks. This book shows what can be achieved in a short time period with a person experiencing a common form of anxiety.

Windy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and is in independent practice. His interests include helping people at the point of need and encouraging therapists to work briefly with clients. He has written or edited over 285 books.
