Dirigido a profesionales que trabajan sesiones de atención inmediata, sesiones únicas y terapia breve.

Los autores se adhieren a la idea de que cualquier modelo de terapia se puede adaptar al trabajo de sesión de atención inmediata y que una sola hora de terapia puede llevar al cambio significativo, enfatizando en que "más largo" no siempre significa "mejor".

Evidencia de investigación que apoya el concepto de sesión única:
▪ La mayoría de las terapias son breves, ya sea intencionalmente o por casualidad.
▪ Gran parte del cambio ocurre en las sesiones iniciales. El ritmo de cambio en el transcurso de la terapia decrece conforme aumenta el número de sesiones.
▪ Se ha comprobado que la terapia breve es efectiva.

Lo que más me gustó:
▪ Incluye los principios de sesión única de atención inmediata del Community Counseling Service (San Antonio, Texas).
▪ Desglosa el procedimiento del modelo del Walk-In Counseling Center (Mineápolis, Minnesota).
