When Time Is at a Premium

<p>In <strong>When Time Is at a Premium</strong> Windy Dryden one of the key experts in the field of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy  (REBT) shows how it is possible to work very briefly with people in both a therapy and coaching context. In these times of increasing need and limited resources Professor Dryden considers that  therapists and coaches need to be flexible and be able to offer a range of services to a varied clientele. As the title indicates sometimes for a variety of reasons time is at a premium and therapists and coaches are called upon to work very briefly with people. If they wish to rise to this challenge particularly if they already have a background in cognitive-behavioural interventions they will find this book of value.</p><p>Part 1 describes a form of single-session therapy developed by Windy Dryden and which he calls ‘Single-Session Integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ (SSI-CBT) a four point of contact model that falls within the definition of Single-Session Therapy developed by Moshe Talmon one of the pioneers in this field.</p><p>In Part 2 Professor Dryden describes a form of very brief coaching that he has also developed and which he calls ‘Very Brief Cognitive Behavioural Coaching’ (VBCBC)which can range from one to three sessions.</p><p> </p><p><strong>About the author</strong></p><p>Windy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and is in part-time independent practice.
