Client commentaries: C, M and I and a complete case example: Case I

Having analysed the individual elements of short-term therapy and the key components that make for the shortening process, this chapter gives three examples of how the process is experienced by clients: see commentaries 6.1 Client C, 6.2 Client M and 6.4 Client I . Extracts of these have already been used to illustrate earlier points. Here the commentaries are included in full, without further comment, and allowed to speak for themselves. Clients C and M’s commentaries are followed by a case example where many of the key elements are seen to be integrated in a real situation.
