“…Although therapists like Rank (1945) and Taft (1933) utilized the setting of limits of time as a methodological factor in the therapeutic process, only within the past decade have any controlled studies been conducted to investigate what effect limiting the number of therapeutic sessions has upon the process of therapy. The results have been consistent in that every experimental study of time-limited psychotherapy has reported positive results (Lipkin, 1966;Lorr, 1965;Muench, 1965;Rice, 1965;Shlien, 1962), and the time-limited principle now appears to have a sound research basis.…”

“…Schlien (1966), comparing outcomes of three forms of treatment -unlimited voluntarily terminated Rogerian therapy, short-term Rogerian therapy and short-term Adlerian therapy -concluded that the short-term treatments on follow-up were as effective and efficient as, though only half the time of, long-term treatment. Meunch (1964), comparing randomly selected clients in a college counselling centre who had a limit of ten treatment interviews with clients receiving open-ended treatment, concluded: "The results of this study indicate that time limited therapy (ten sessions) is as effective as more traditional therapeutic methods and may suggest a procedure wherein mental hygiene clinics may increase the number of clients administered psychotherapy without reducing therapeutic efficiency".…”

This paper sets out to examine theoretically the role that “time” plays in therapy. It proceeds by investigating the appearance of “time” in the therapeutic literature: specifically, research regarding the efficacy of brief therapy and attendance of clients in therapy, psychoanalytic concepts of “time”, family therapy's recent emphasis on the future and conceptualisations available about “time” and its role in problem formation and resolution. A summary of these findings precedes a discussion emphasising the problems of crisis, irreversibility and chronicity. The conclusion re‐emphasises the need for a multi‐modal approach to any future theorising on “time” in the therapeutic domain.

“…3) Psychosocial stress model: Dohrenwend (1978) states that all community interventions would be focused on "undermining the process through which psychosocial stress produces both mental and social disorders (Av-net, 1965). Nevertheless, due to the complexity of this process, it can be studied from different points of view (Muench, 1965). This would explain the differences among the activities developed by community psychologists".…”

This study shows the evolution of the demand and assistance in a municipal therapeutic service portfolio in Tenerife. It is a descriptive, qualitative and quantitative study. The sample is made up of 1175 patients assisted in this program in the period of time which ranges from 2005 to 2012. The results show the high demand of this program. Moreover, the results of the intervention coincide with those expected by international and national organisms. Most of the demand is centred on the area of problems called role transitions, followed by those problems grouped in the area of interpersonal conflicts. In the third place, the demand is centred on those problems grouped in the area of interpersonal deficits, and finally on those problems grouped in the category of grieving or mourning problems. It is extremely important to offer this program in the municipal service portfolio as a complementary resource which facilitates the prevention and approach to problems related to mental health in the community because of its high demand, effectiveness and efficacy.
