Reviews
This book will be an invaluable asset to students and seasoned counseling professionals as well as the general public interested in learning more about very brief therapeutic conversations.ã Dryden demonstrates mastery in assisting his volunteers to focus on what they would like to be different in their lives and the means to achieve their goals.ã The verbatim transcripts in this book bring to life the art and science of single session counseling.ã Through a mix of authentic empathy, humor, and acceptance, Dryden demonstrates the power of razor sharp focus and efficiency in a therapeutic context. Kristene A. Doyle, Ph.D, Director of the Albert Ellis Institute This is a book tightly packed with information. It provides the reader with a practical guide on conducting short, single-session therapy. It also provides details of Windy's carefully considered (mainly cognitive-behavioural) approach to therapy, honed by his decades of experience. The transcripts of his live demonstration sessions within this volume are educational, inspiring, often humorous and a rare chance to `see' a master therapist practice his craft. The comments from both client (volunteer) and therapist on the process add a depth one rarely sees in a training manual. Highly recommended to trainees and experienced therapists alike. Rob Willson, author of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies
