Rezensionen

"Simon and Taylor present a useful and grounding book on discerning multiple opportunities in solution-building conversations with clients, as well as multiple possibilities and rationale for solution-building responses to those opportunities. I especially appreciated the ample examples of microanalysis in action that can inform and improve one's own work in solution-building."

"One big question is, 'From all the things that people say in therapy, how do therapists select what to build on?' Another important question, at least for someone who wants to get better at what they do, is 'What other opportunities were there?' If you have the slightest

interest in any of these questions, read this book."

"What a brilliant elaboration of Solution-Focused Therapy in our current pedagogical context where it is indeed our ethical imperative to be reflective of our own work! As an educator in this field, I have found their original exercise 'opportunities' to be particularly useful in class, and have observed a tangible difference in learner progress as a result. The 'opportunities' exercise is just one example of the practical techniques presented in this book, which highlight the authors' expertise in bridging the gap between theory and practice, history and current elaborations, and practice and pedagogy. The ability to provide real-world examples of how these techniques can be incorporated into one's practice and supervision is highly useful, and allows learners to see how these concepts can be applied in a range of settings and contexts.
I believe the book would be valuable for learners at all levels, as it provides a useful tool regardless of their experience level. The emphasis on reflection, dialogue, and ongoing learning and growth is crucial for developing one's craft and perhaps increasing the likelihood of having more useful conversations with our clients."
