title: 12-hour psychotherapy.
abstract: The two cases cited illustrate how short-term therapy can be used to meet a patient's needs to deal with loss and grief. Although the goals as set out in short-term therapy contracts are not always fully achieved, this treatment modality, as delineated by Mann, is valuable to psychiatry. Short-term therapy is not only a sound therapeutic intervention, but also a means of bringing psychiatric health care to a greater segment of the population.
