In case of the brief therapy, the level of concentration on the present moment and on the present situation of the patient’s condition can be combined with the other therapies to support an effective crisis intervention response. This is because the concentration level on the present can be applicable during interviewing a patient in a motivational manner. There can also be positivity spread to the patient when focus is enhanced for the present more than the past or the future. All the past instances of grief can be forgotten by the patient if there is focus on the present by the clinician as well as the patient.
