This exciting book focuses on interviewing skills based on solution-focused therapy, an approach especially suited to today's practice demands in the helping professions. Originally developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues, this unique approach views clients as competent, helps them to visualize the changes they want, and builds on what they already are doing that is working. Throughout the book, the authors present models for solution-focused work, illustrated by examples and supported by research.
