Introduction to the Special Section: Walk-in Single-Session and Booked Single-Session Therapy in Canada

Abstract

Walk-in single session and single session by appointment therapy services have been in existence for the past 50 years in North America. Dimensions of this approach were outlined in this journal in both 2008 and again in 2019 (Slive & Bobele, 2019, Slive, McElheran, & Lawson, 2008). In this introduction to the Special Section on Walk-In Single-Session and Booked Single-Session Services in Canada, the authors will provide an overview of some of the current walk-in single-session and booked single-session services in place and/or in progress at various locations across the country.
