The Poison Throne
Tumanbay: Once the most magnificent city on earth - now the dark heart of an empire which lies in ruins. Occupied by the fanatical forces of the mysterious cult of Maya, corpses hang from the gallows, and citizens are flogged for next to nothing. Barakat, leader of the Inquisition, leads the purge. Gregor, former spymaster to the Sultan, lives in fear. Madu, heir to the throne, is opiated and installed as a puppet ruler. And Qulan, the great general, rots in prison.

Single-Session Therapy and Its Future
Single-Session Therapy and Its Future provides an introduction to the major principles of single-session therapy and what currently constitutes good practice in the field. The book is a timely reflection on where SST is at, and where it might be heading. It is comprised of interviews with well-known leaders and experts in this field, outlining what they think will happen, hope will happen and fear might happen as the future of SST unfolds. The book further notes the growth and development of SST in many different contexts internationally in the past 30 years. The book will be of interest to practitioners with little knowledge/experience of the SST 'mindset' or mode of service delivery, as well as seasoned SST practitioners. It will also appeal to practitioners working with many client groups around the world.
First Steps in Single-Session Therapy
This book is designed to be used by counsellors and therapists who are new to single-session therapy and who, having had some training in SST, wish to offer this mode of therapy delivery to their clients who are seeking help with specific problems. In this book, Windy Dryden outlines 23 steps that are divided into four parts: (1) the pre-conversation phase, (2) the beginning phase, (3) the middle phase and (4) the ending phase and beyond. While these steps have been presented logically, therapists do not have to use them in this order. The best way to use these steps is to view them as a handy person views their tools in a toolbox. They won't use all these tools but they need to know where they are and when they can be used if needed. Windy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London. His goal is to disseminate SST, or what he refers to as ONEplus Therapy. His latest book is Dryden, W. (2025). Single-Session Therapy: An Essential
