This 206 page book is an accessible guide to Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), an effective therapeutic approach which focuses on strengths and achievements, provides a practical introduction to what SFBT is and how to use it with clients.

Although the book has ‘Therapy’ in the title, it could equally well be called Solution Focused Working for the Helping Professions; the intention is to give helpers an approach that will make them more effective in their work, not to teach them to be therapists. Clear and practical descriptions guide readers through the principles, techniques and steps involved in the approach so that they can become more Solution Focused in their work.  This includes how to form a productive working relationship with the client, using questions creatively, becoming more effective with language, and working collaboratively with the client in finding solutions.The ideas and techniques are brought to life with case studies and transcripts.

This book will be invaluable to all those in the helping professions who are either already familiar with SFBT and want to improve their knowledge, or are looking for new and effective ways to communicate with and help the people they work with.
