What are the limitations of brief therapy?

Brief therapy, while effective for many, has limitations including its focus on immediate issues, which can overlook underlying psychological complexities. It may not be suitable for individuals with severe mental health conditions or those requiring long-term support. Additionally, the time constraints can pressure clients and therapists, potentially leading to superficial resolutions rather than deep, lasting change. Finally, the effectiveness can vary based on the therapist's skill and the client's readiness for change.
