ABSTRACT
Single women may be the fastest-growing clinical population, yet only recently have they received much clinical attention. The intervention described here is for women who are depressed about being single, a depression that has not abated with grief work, therapeutic support, nor practical suggestions. But before considering this, it is important first to recognize that there is no consistency when talking about single women. There are more than twenty-eight different ways of being a single woman, depending (for example) on age, dating and/or prior marital status, religious or sexual preference, or parenting (Lewis, 1994). For simplicity's sake, single women can be divided into two categories: Always Single (AS) and Single Again (S A).
