Learning Solution-Focused Therapy: An Illustrated Guide bridges
the gap between the traditional medical model of problem-focused
assessment and treatment and the newer, increasingly popular
strength-based treatment approach. The author's objective is to
provide another therapeutic dimension, thus enhancing
problem-focused treatment and supporting competency in this
strength-based modality. Psychiatrists, pediatricians, family
practitioners, nurses, and other mental health providers will
appreciate the how-to focus of the text, its compelling, case-based
approach to learning, and its informal, conversational writing
style.
The book's structure and features are designed to facilitate
learning:
- The book begins with an overview of the core tenets of
solution-focused therapy, starting with solution-focused case
review and examining both solution-focused core assumptions and
core questions. This helps the reader understand the foundation of
this modality and put it into context.- A primary objective is
building the skills necessary to effective solution-based therapy,
and the book includes instruction on conducting a solution-focused
interview, establishing a framework of strengths and resources,
developing a yes-set, negotiating goals, amplifying ambivalence,
and dealing with crisis. - Solution-focused techniques are
integrated within supervision and consultation, an approach that
clinicians who work with students and residents, and supervisors
who work within agencies will find immensely useful.-
Solution-focused psychopharmacotherapy and addiction therapy merit
complete chapters, providing information that clinicians will find
invaluable when applying solution-focused techniques in these
situations.- The case illustrations vividly render the dialogue of
patient and therapist, and are accompanied by detailed explanations
and commentary in italics to help the reader learn how to practice
this model of treatment. - Companion videos (available online)
present commonly used techniques that illustrate key features of
solution-focused therapy in a compelling and enlightening way.
Learning Solution-Focused Therapy: An Illustrated Guide provides
learning exercises and case illustrations that will help the reader
implement practical strategies immediately with patients, students,
supervisees and trainees. Practical, engaging, and evidence-based,
this book will enhance the clinician's ability to connect with and
help the patient in a positive way.
