ABSTRACT
Hoyt and Talmon, Hoyt et al. and Hymmen, Stalker and Cait have reviewed a great deal of evidence to the efficacy of Single-Session Therapy (SST). As the name makes clear, an outcome marker represents a clear indication that the person's outcome goals have been met. The more specific these markers, the better, as specific markers give a clear indication that the person's goals have or have not been met. However, such is the nature of SST, both the therapist and the client will not know the outcome of the intervention until after the client has implemented it in their own life. It is useful to note that for some clients the setting of an initial progress marker is sufficient and they would be overwhelmed if a series of linked markers are set, while for other clients having a clear idea of such a series is motivating.
