ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author considers the importance of context on Single-Session Therapy (SST) and argues that SST is best practised within a setting which provides help at the point of need rather than help at the point of availability. He also considers other conducive organisational factors to the development of SST services. Unless an organisation only offers SST, then SST needs to be integrated with an agency’s other services. J. Young has made the point that it is one thing for SST thinking and services to be introduced into an agency and sit alongside, shape and be shaped by existing services, it is another thing for SST to thrive in this context. The service in which SST therapists work needs to care for the professional well-being of its staff so that therapists can maintain enthusiasm for working in an SST-inspired environment so that they continue to be creative in its application.
