Instructional Level

Intermediate --- Builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications.


Course Description and Target Audience

Workshop will begin with describing the initial development of SST, then review the research of the last 25 years. The next section focuses on therapist attitudes that are conducive to effective SST, with special emphasis on attitudes toward diagnosis, affect, and time. The second half of the workshop focuses on developing specific skills for implementing SST.

There is a substantial body of research on this topic. Benefits and risks are basically the same as for multi-session psychotherapies. Limitations of the research due to methodological issues will be discussed. The target audience is mental health providers (advanced doctoral level psychology trainees, psychologists in practice, master’s level clinicians, etc).
