Human systems are simply too complex to fit under some template of explanation.
Additionally, if we strive to create a template or specific model, the ultimate risk is treatment of the model, not the client. As an introduction we would like to clarify what we mean by Brief Therapy. The time between sessions needs to be productive to help clients gain confidence in themselves and not be dependent on the therapy process. Our perspective is that the style and philosophy can be applied to all clinical situations. Once people learn to drop the idea that brief therapy is about number of sessions, this becomes a more acceptable tenet.
