ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the importance of the client practising their solution in the session (PSS). It describes the reasons for doing so and the forms that such practice may take. The chapter deals with a caveat – while PSS is generally a good idea, there may be times where it is better for the client not to rehearse the solution. PSS helps the person determine whether or not anything about the solution needs to be modified. Hopefully, at this stage, this will involve the client in ‘fine-tuning’ the solution rather than making a radical overhaul. Given that the results of PSS need to be processed and discussed, the therapist needs to ensure that they structure the session in such a way that time is given to such processing and discussion. In PSS this is implemented by the client holding in mind the desired attitude while engaging in relevant behavioural practice.
