Solution-Focused Therapy

The Basics

Beschreibung

This book presents the fundamentals of the evidence-based solution-focused brief therapy approach by examining how it was developed, the research that supports it, and the key techniques that enable its effective implementation.

Developed originally as a psychotherapeutic approach, the solution-focused approach is now being applied across a wide variety of contexts including psychotherapy and counseling, schools, business, and organisations. This accessible and introductory guide provides a unified description and demonstration of the basic commonalities that characterise, inform, and support its implementation across all these contexts. Readers will acquire a clear understanding of the essentials of the solution-focused approach and how to apply it to everyday life.

This book is essential for undergraduate students in courses such as psychotherapy, clinical psychology, and social work. As well as mental health professionals and caregivers seeking to quickly familiarise themselves with the solution-focused approach, and anyone interested in solution-focused and brief therapies.

"Yvonne Dolan captures the heart and soul of solution-focused practice, engaging the reader in an inspiring and compelling journey from the

beginning of its development to its practical applications in many diverse areas. A training faculty member of the original Brief Family Therapy Center (BFTC), the home of solution-focused brief therapy, Yvonne is the most authoritative voice today. This is an absolute 'must have' book for those who are curious about, teach or practice the solution-focused approach."

"Yvonne Dolan's new book is 'a must' for any SF practitioner's bookshelf. It stands apart from most other SF texts in that it takes a real 'nuts and bolts', 'drilling-down' approach to how SF conversations work in a variety of settings. Also, there is one of the clearest descriptions I have seen yet, of what makes SF radically different from other ways of working."

John Hendon, Director of John Hendon Consultancy, UK, author of Preventing Suicide: The Solution Focused Approach, and Beating Combat Stress: 101 Techniques for Recovery.

"This highly readable book is crystal clear evidence of a theoretical-practical SFT alliance in which core elements and key assumptions form the pragmatic, linguistic and philosophical heart and soul of the SFT approach with an eye to its genesis and development. Each chapter is larded with clear examples using a variety of SFT techniques and explanations applicable in a variety of settings."
