What it is

PIRP leads with the problem the session focused on. It works well for problem-oriented treatment and for clients whose sessions shift focus week to week.

When to use it

  • Problem-focused or brief therapy
  • Clients presenting with a different concern each session
  • Programs that organize records around a problem list
