How Long Should Psychotherapy Last?

This is a great question that comes up for many people as they learn more about therapy and counseling and ask questions. Here is a great blog entry on the topic:

“How long will it last?” is one of the questions people most often ask when they are about to begin psychotherapy–especially if it’s their first time.

The answer I usually give isn’t the one people want to hear, because I answer with a question: “How long should yoga last?” “How long should you study piano?” “How long should you learn chess?”
