Solution-Focused Therapy

Since its initiation in the 1980s, this form of brief therapy has found its place, especially in educational and social work settings, but also specifically in cases of domestic violence, child protection and drug abuse. In this edition, which includes a chapter on solution-focused supervision, gives techniques to use in helping clients seek solutions for themselves. This reference overviews the model, specifies first and subsequent sessions that retain their focus on solutions, describes the solution-focused practitioner, answers frequently-asked questions, proposes an integrative solution- focused approach, and applies it to a variety of situations.
