Collaborative-Dialogic Practices in a Single-Session Therapy Format: A Clinical Example in an EAP

Abstract

This article describes a way in which collaborative-dialogic practices in a single-session therapy format can be used as a therapeutic framework to design an employee assistance program (EAP) within an organization. The theoretical section will discuss some of the principles of single-session therapy (SST) and collaborative-dialogic practices (CDP) that inform the development of this therapeutic practice. The description of an EAP in a construction company in Mexico City will illustrate the service delivery. A clinical session and a theoretical discussion will serve as an example of this practice.
