Booster session

Booster sessions can help clients after psychotherapy is completed. True or False ... 

Booster session. An equivalent to aftercare in cognitive behavioral therapy, booster sessions are regular checkups after therapy concludes to make sure the client is doing well. 

In CBT it is desirable and is seen as part of good practice to oiler follow-up sessions to the patient. This usually occurs at three months and six months after discharge. The aim is to ensure that the gains made in therapy have been maintained. If the patient has not been able to implement the self-help plan as well as anticipated, then they may require one or two booster sessions, or to remain on the therapist s case load for a few months as a safety net . One of the positive things about CBT is that once the skills have been learned, the patient can continue to practise them and make progress long after therapy has finished.
