Implementing Single-Session Psychotherapy

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book will save lives! Seeing people at the point of their need is what we should be aiming for in mental health services across the world. The contributors to this seminal book, superbly edited by Drs. Bobele and Slive, show how this can be done. So, 'come in, sit down, no appointment needed'."

Windy Dryden PhD, emeritus professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies, Goldsmiths University of London

"As often happens in human history, a great challenge, in this case, the COVID-19 pandemic, forced a better solution. The open-access (OA) service delivery model developed by Bobele, Slive, and others expands their earlier Walk-In No-Appointment-Necessary SST model to a much wider and breakthrough service model. This is a groundbreaking and must-read book for all mental health providers, clients, managers, and policymakers."
