ABSTRACT

A book written for the general public called Same Time Next Week? (Neimark 1981) warned against the dangers of the weekly fix of psychotherapy where clients attend psychotherapy at the same time every week, for the same duration every week, no doubt discussing the same problems every week! To guard against this timeless nature of ongoing therapy, it is important that you are flexible in your use of therapy sessions. We have already recommended (in Point 57) increasing the length of time between therapy sessions as you approach the end of REBT.
