About This Book
This book introduces One at a Time (OOAT) Single Session Therapy (SST) for couples, presenting a new and innovative format for couples counselling and therapy that fills the gaps between SST and traditional couples therapy models.
The book covers the historical background of brief therapy, the concept of change in different therapy models, and the different formats of SST. The general mindset – as well as the specific thinking and practice of SST/OAAT are described in detail, combined with practical guidelines and many concrete examples from couple sessions. Five full length OAAT session stories give the reader a clear sense of what OAAT with couples really is like and how different counselors use their personal styles and preferences.
Single Session One at a Time Counselling with Couples is written for working therapists, therapists in training, supervisors, managers, and couples themselves who are thinking of scheduling therapy.
