In this book Dryden considers the works of the Early Pioneers of Single Session Therapy spanning from 1975 to 1992 and outlines the contribution they made to present day SST. Dryden gives a focused, detailed consideration of the works of Freud, Otto Spoerl, Kenneth Rockwell & Rolffs Pinkerton and Bernard Bloom. This book presents a unique perspective on the founders of SST and the implication of their work on modern day practice. This book will be of interest to any single-session practitioners and to any students or clinicians exploring brief therapy models.
