“…In an examination of therapy outcome in the case of a total of 211 members of an Israeli kibbutz during 1984-1986, Kaffman (1995 reported that three year follow-up interviews revealed that 30% of patients were successfully treated by means of a single session of psychotherapy and that fewer than 30% required longterm therapy. Coverley, Garralda and Bowman (1995) described their work in a primary medical care setting with mothers of schoolchildren who had psychiatric disorders.…”

Since the initial examination of the scattered literature on single-session psychotherapy, more than 40 papers that address some aspect of this form of very brief psychotherapy have been located in two archival data sets (PsycINFO and MEDLINE). The literature consists of clinical overviews, program descriptions and case presentations, and a few uncontrolled and controlled outcome studies. Single-session psychotherapy has been practiced from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives with no evidence thus far that any specific perspective is superior to any other. Single-session psychotherapy has been found to be somewhat effective for intrapsychic difficulties, interpersonal conflicts, and as an adjunct treatment for medical disorders, and has been shown to be useful for the treatment of children and adolescents as well as adults. Between one-third and one-half of randomly selected clients seen in single-session psychotherapy report being sufficiently helped by the experience so that the therapeutic episode can be terminated.

“…Even such long-term work as psychoanalysis, "no matter how thorough, cannot cure life" (McWilliams, 1987, p. 105). The process instilled during counseling continues beyond the physical interaction with the counselor (Shectman, 1986). Termination ends the professional client-counselor relationship, but terminating does not necessarily end the process or the client's work (Weinshel, 1984).…”

“…The recontact across distance suggests there is still an emotional connection to the counselor. If the forced, premature termination hindered the client's integrating the therapeutic process and the experiencing of a valued relationship (see Shectman, 1986), then any progress that had been achieved in the counseling may be quite fragile and still strongly associated with the counselor. A supportive and bridging response to the client may underscore the reality aspects of the counselor's move, convey "I do care-the move was about me and not about you," and direct the former client toward an enhanced sense of trust in self, others, and counseling.…”

Client post‐termination contact with counselors who have relocated has been neglected as a training and practice issue. The client may attempt to re‐open the therapeutic relationship, even though the counselor has moved to a different geographical location and is not available to continue service delivery. In this article, analytic reflections are used to explore counselor, client, and process variables relative to counselors' response to “following” clients.

“…In addition to ethical and humanistic concerns, group and staff model HMO therapists know that the HMO is accountable (at risk) for the comprehensive health costs of its members and also know that there is a strong tendency for untreated psychological problems to result in excessive medical (including emergency-room) services. As Shectman (1986) has said, necessity sometimes proves to be the mother of intervention.…”
