Brief Therapy refers to time-limited psychotherapy approaches designed to produce positive change in fewer sessions than traditional therapies. The focus is on concrete goals, problem-solving, and empowering clients to make rapid, meaningful adjustments in their lives.
Key Points:
- Modalities: Includes Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Brief Psychodynamic Therapy.
- Typical Duration: Often 6–12 sessions, though it can be shorter or slightly longer, depending on the client’s needs.
- Techniques: Clarifying immediate problems, setting specific goals, exploring exceptions to issues, and leveraging existing strengths/resources.
- Applications: Well-suited for mild to moderate concerns, crisis intervention, or when clients have limited time/resources.
