Rather than identifying and fixing preceived client weaknesses,
this book takes into account both individual resources and the
areas where client skills can be bolstered, offering an eclectic
practice approach that interweaves and operationalizes both
strengths-based practices approaches. In teh strengths and skills
based model, which intergrates solution-focused therapy,
motivational interviewing, anf cognitive behavioural therapy,
clients are assumed to have the necessary capacities to solve their
own problems, and a major focus of treatment is bolstering
motivation and resources. When these resources are exhausted or
when deficits are identified as a substantial barrier to change
then skill building is introduced. However, sklls are taught in a
collaborative fashion and as much as possible are made relevant to
the client's unique circumstance. Chapters apply this approach to
such issues as adolescent conduct problems, depression, substance
abuse and domestic violence. This innovative, dynamic resource
offers an assessment and intervention model for practitioners in
the helping, social service and mental health professions. In
addition the helping process can be applied in any number of roles,
including that of case manager, probation officer, caseworker,
medical social service personnel, counselor, crisis worker and
therapist.
