Single Session Thinking
Single Session Thinking (SST) is an approach which makes the most of each encounter with clients by treating each contact, but especially the first, as though it may be the only contact. At the same time, it lays the foundation for ongoing work, if required and requested by the client.
This fully self-paced online course, taught by Australia’s key developers and proponents of SST, Professor Jeffrey Young and Pam Rycroft, provides solid grounding in SST. It will introduce you to the research and clinical observations underlying SST and will take you through a variety of practical applications of the model.
You will receive resources for implementing SST in your own practice, and/or in your organisation, including:
- Implementation guidelines
- Tips and action plans
- Diverse practice examples
- Advice based on years of experience
