ABSTRACT

The possibilities of one-session therapy have been receiving increased attention since the publication of Moshe Talmon’s bestselling 1990 book Single Session Therapy: Maximizing the Effects of the First (and Often Only) Therapeutic Encounter. Working with Michael Hoyt and Robert Rosenbaum, Talmon reported that many clients found a single session to be useful and sufficient for a range of problems. Since then, Single Session Therapy has been translated into many languages, and numerous investigators (see Hoyt & Talmon, 2014; Hoyt, Bobele, Slive, Young & Talmon, 2018) have confirmed and extended the finding that one session can be, for many clients, all that they need.
