Single Session Interventions: An Example of Clinical Research in PracticeAustralian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy, 20
THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF FAMILY THERAPY Volume 33 Number 1 2012 pp. 3â5 c The Authors 2012 doi 10.1017/aft.2012.1 Editorial We had heard about the work at Dalmar Child and Family Services, inspired by Laurie McKinnonâs consultation (Laurie having been a colleague of Arnie Sliveâs in Canada). We also knew that the Canberra Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service was utilising a single-session approach, and that it had cut down waiting times for clients dramatically. We were not sure that this therapy was for us. However, through the work of Pat Boyhan, a Masters student on placement at the time, we evaluated our own initial planned single-session project (Boyhan, 1996). We found ourselves convinced not only of the economies of such an approach (e.g. freeing up a resource to allow some families to engage in quite long-term work), but also of the clinical value inherent in the philosophy of a client-led process. We began to take greater care to work with the clientâs agenda, to check in that we were focusing on what was important to them, to utilise whatever resources we had available in the moment, to trust our clients to let us know
