Brief Narrative Practice in Single-Session Therapy 1st Edition

Capture immediate clinical impact with Brief Narrative Practice in Single-Session Therapy, 1st Edition by Scot J. Cooper — a concise, practice-driven guide that puts evidence-informed narrative techniques directly into one-session encounters.

Designed for busy clinicians, this book opens with clear frameworks and purpose-built questions that help therapists, counselors, social workers, and psychologists quickly establish rapport, reframe client stories, and produce meaningful progress in a single meeting. Combining theory with vivid case examples and step-by-step interventions, Cooper translates narrative principles into tools that are easy to learn and apply across settings: community clinics, private practice, emergency mental health, and university counseling centers.

What sets this volume apart is its practical focus: straightforward templates for session structure, methods for co-creating new client meanings, and adaptable strategies for diverse populations. Readers will gain confidence in guiding short-term encounters, improving client engagement, and promoting durable shifts in perspective—skills particularly valuable for clinicians working in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, and other global contexts.
