What is Solution-Focused Therapy?
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) is a unique, goal-directed
therapy aimed at helping clients regain autonomy by determining and
achieving their own goals. Solution focused therapists encourage
clients to focus on solutions, not problems, and help clients
effectively plan how to reach their goals. Unlike other therapies,
SFT holds an abiding belief in clients' abilities to know what is
best for them, rather than have a therapist tell them.
Why this book?
This book not only provides an overview of the Solution Focused
therapy model, its basic tenets, and theories; it also presents
intimate interviews with expert practitioners-all of whom use SFT
in their own practice.
To this end, the book offers a wealth of insight into the theory
and practice of SFT, to help practitioners decide whether SFT is
right for them and their clients. These experts offer details of
their apprehensions, goals, breakthroughs, and overall experiences
with the therapy. The team of expert contributors includes Eve
Lipchik, Yvonne Dolan, Alasdair Macdonald, Thorana Nelson, and many
more.
Questions the experts address include: How did you discover that
SFT was the model that fit your clients' needs? What
characteristics of this model drew you towards it? How has SFT
impacted your personal life? What is it about SFT that makes it so
effective? What are your favorite cases and how did they affect
your work as a therapist?
