You heard it right, one session of one hour. As I said, many therapists will greet this news with a mix of elation and chagrin. ... Now you know why cognitive and behavioral treatments have superseded psychodynamic psychotherapy and even medication. <br /><br />It good and sounds promising, but I don't know why you have to project personal motives of therapists, as if they only see patients as cash cows and will be disappointed that a majority of patients might have problems with simpler solutions and only need one session.<br /><br />And if its really that simple, surely it can be explained in a self-help book, and then sleep therapists can refocus their attention on the harder cases, the ones that are not solved in one hour.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd imagine the key is to observe enough patients to see who responds well, and who doesn't and see if you can more quickly identity those for whom this cognitive therapy will work. Although some good advice can maybe help everyone regardless of insomnia so it might really be a quick and harmless treatment for all.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
