Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) promotes collaborative work
and positive outcomes. It is an approach that can be used with
individuals, families and groups in acute hospitals as well as with
clients who are seen as outpatients or in the community. Written in
an accessible style with over seventy case examples, this new
edition of 'Focus on Solutions' shows how SFBT can help people who
are suffering from voice or memory difficulties, a stammer, a
stroke, HIV, traumatic brain injury or illness such as cancer or
Parkinson's disease. Two new full session transcripts show clients
beginning to shift from focusing on the problems in their lives
towards a clear description of how they want their lives to be
different. Recent outcomes are included on solution focused
supervision within the NHS and examples of ways to help clients
monitor progress and give feedback. 'Focus on Solutions' contains
many useful ideas for experienced practitioners and those new to
solution focused work, which is of growing importance in the health
service as well as business and education. Therapists, doctors,
nurses and psychologists will find this book an invaluable
contribution to the field of reflective practice. 'Focus on
Solutions' is a clear and inspiring application of the
solution-focused approach in a medical and community setting . . .
Bonus content includes how to be solution-focused in supervision,
training new practitioners and measuring client outcomes. The
varying and updated case examples brings the approach to life,
demonstrates its practical nature and how it can be incorporated
into existing speech and language therapy frameworks.

Well child care is designed to promote optimal health status for
children, including school and life success. This preventive care
includes anticipatory guidance; continuity of care; assessment of
growth and development; screening procedures for vision, hearing,
dental, and cognitive development; and immunizations. Anticipatory
guidance provides parental health education, counseling, and
reassurance. The vast majority of Medicaid-insured children receive
fewer than the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended
number of well child visits in the preschool years, and a
disproportionate number of children have poor health and lack
school readiness. With little empirical data available indicating
clinical effectiveness other than for immunizations, the AAP
recommendations for well child care were originally based on
consensus expert opinion, and more than three decades later,
documentation of effectiveness remained unavailable. This
information gap led policymakers to question the value of well
child care and limited incentive to correct its underuse. Only in
the last five years have experimental findings indicated an
association between well child care and both more cost efficient
health care and increased school readiness. Awareness of these
findings by insurance company and Medicaid administrators is
limited. The purpose for this book is to increase awareness by all
stakeholders of the empirically determined clinical effectiveness
of well child care. The short-term goal is to facilitate increased
utilization of well child care, with a longer term goal of improved
child health and life success.
