Download or read book How to Think and Intervene Like a Single Session Therapist written by Windy Dryden and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapists new to Single-Session Therapy (SST) will often struggle to bring the SST mindset to the work and will in turn struggle to help their clients get the most out of the time that they choose to spend together. How to Think and Intervene Like a Single-Session Therapist provides the trainee with an opportunity to discover how experienced therapists think, and how their thoughts influence their interventions within the single-session context. Presenting SST in a way that both interests conventional therapists and shows the potential of this way of delivering therapy services, Windy Dryden details the multiple levels of thinking and intervening that go into single-session practice. He covers the orientation thinking experienced SST therapists have about the work when they are not doing it, the pre-session thinking they engage in while actively preparing to do the work, and the in-session thinking they engage in while doing the work. The book outlines the theory behind SST and the ways those ideas form its practice, using clinical vignettes and case scenarios to demonstrate how single-session therapists can make the best use of the limited time with their clients. The book additionally presents an ongoing dialogue between an SST therapist and a conventional therapist to highlight the thinking of the former and how the criticisms of SST by the latter can be responded to. This highly practical guide will be essential reading for any therapist who is new to or has recently been introduced to the practice of SST.

Download or read book Procrastination and Task Avoidance written by Joseph R. Ferrari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Procrastination is a fascinating, highly complex human phenomenon for which the time has come for systematic theoretical and therapeutic effort. The present volume reflects this effort. It was a labor of love to read this scholarly, timely book-the first of its kind on the topic. It was especially encouraging to find that its authors are remarkably free of the phenomenon they have been investigating. One might have expected the opposite. It has often been argued that people select topics that trouble them and come to understand their problems better by studying or treating them in others. This does not appear to be true of the procrastination researchers represented in this book. I base this conclusion on two simple observations. First, the work is replete with recent refer ences and the book itself has reached the reader scarcely a year following its completion. Second, when one considers the remarkable pace of pro grammatic research by these contributors during the past decade, it is clear that they are at the healthy end of the procrastination continuum. The fascinating history of the term procrastination is well documented in this book. The term continues to conjure up contrasting, eloquent images-especially for poets. When Edward Young wrote in 1742, "Pro crastination is the Thief of Time," he was condemning the waste of the most precious of human commodities.

Download or read book Psychotherapy Abbreviation written by Terry S Trepper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychotherapy Abbreviation is a field-tested approach designed to train both experienced and student mental health professionals to do brief therapy that is effective and highly satisfactory to clients. This book is unique in that it is the only text that is compatible with almost all approaches to treatment, making it suitable as a primer of brief therapy usable by virtually all psychotherapists. Most other brief therapy books are affiliated with a specific theory of psychopathology, making each limited to those who share the author's theoretical orientation. Pekarik wrote this text based on his own brief therapy training manual because he could not find a text suitable for the wide range of psychotherapy approaches represented by the therapists whom he trains in his research, teaching, and consulting work. By offering a unique approach derived from the “active ingredients” common to all forms of brief therapy and the literature on client treatment preferences, Psychotherapy Abbreviation simplifies the abbreviation process and makes it accessible to all therapists. Pekarik's strategies have been field-tested; he has used them to train hundreds of therapists who have demonstrated success with clients--increased client satisfaction, improved treatment effectiveness, and lowered dropout rates. These same therapists also doubled the proportion of cases they treated with brief therapy. This “how to do it” text is extremely practical. It assumes that the reader already has a theory and set of therapy techniques, true of even most graduate students. The emphasis is then placed on the treatment abbreviation process itself. Because of this highly focused approach, the text will, like the technique it describes, be concise and brief. By avoiding association with any particular school of therapy, Pekarik's approach is usable by all schools of therapy. Therapists and future therapists now in graduate school will benefit from Psychotherapy Abbreviation as it explores these topics: rationale for the abbreviation of psychotherapy practical and ethical issues to consider in client selection a conceptual model for treatment abbreviation rapid assessment and case conceptualization establishing a brief therapy focus goal establishment and negotiation adapting standard psychotherapy techniques to the brief format practice issues in brief therapy Psychotherapy Abbreviation is two-part. Part one is an orientation to this model of brief therapy in which Pekarik emphasizes a research-based rationale for doing brief therapy; presents a general theory of why brief treatments work; and provides guidelines for the identification of appropriate clients for brief therapy. The second part of the text is devoted to technical skills training. It begins with an overview of the techniques common to most schools of brief therapy and describes a “universal model” of brief therapy. Readers are then taken step-by-step through a description of the four most important abbreviation techniques, presented in the typical order of use with clients. To encourage readers to consistently apply the recommended techniques, Pekarik includes one particular training case which he describes in detail and uses it in all of the technical skills chapters in special “Case Application” sections of these chapters. Before describing the detailed applications, Pekarik prompts readers to consider how they would apply the abbreviating technique presented in that chapter to the case. With individual exercises, he gives special attention to how readers can adapt their personal therapy styles and theoretical orientations to brief therapy. As a result, readers develop both a rationale and abbreviation strategy compatible with their values and practical needs as therapists. The exercises are found in each chapter in special “exercise
