Synopsis

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) has a strong research and practice background that is currently being practised in a wide range of settings – from child and family work, through severe and enduring mental health, changing health behaviours and palliative care.Many practitioners however often feel they lack guidance on how to apply solution focused principles in ways that are creative or alternatively would like more structure in how to apply the ideas and principles.This book is designed to provide that.It contains 10 exercises in worksheet format that practitioners can use in a variety of settings. It is not designed to replace training in Solution Focused Therapy. It is however designed to facilitate its practice.
