An invaluable guide to the history, descriptions of practice
strategies, and applications of SFBT! The Handbook of
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a unique, comprehensive guide
that assists clinicians, regardless of experience level, in
learning and applying the concepts of Solution-Focused Brief
Therapy (SFBT) to particular situations with clients. Noted experts
discuss the therapy practices and various uses for the approach in
detail, which focuses on encouraging clients to look at exceptions,
times when the problem could have occurred and did not, and goals
and future possibilities. A history of the practice model and its
interventions is discussed, along with limitations, descriptions of
practice strategies, applications to specific client populations,
and clinical problems and concerns. This useful resource also
includes an illustrative case study that uses the SFBT model. The
Handbook of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy first lays a foundation
of knowledge, providing chapters on the crucial assumptions and
practices, history, and epistemology behind the approach. Further
chapters use that basis to explain the application of the approach
with several clinical issues and various populations, including
couples, depression, domestic violence, schools, children, pastoral
work, therapist burnout, and a few outside therapy room
applications. Other chapters focus on the important issues in
therapist training and supervision. Extensive references are
provided at the end of each chapter. Topics discussed in the
Handbook of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy include: assumptions
