About this title

Synopsis

Originating in the world of talking therapies, the adaptability and usability of solution-focused practice has made it the approach of choice for a wide range of practitioners in health, social care and educational settings.

Setting out the process in a clear and systematic fashion, this book shows how any conversation directed towards change can become a solution-focused one, whether in planned series of sessions with individuals, families or groups, or in the less structured contexts in which many helping professionals work. Full of real-life case examples and stimulating activities, this will be an invaluable guide to anyone wanting to develop their skills in this empowering approach.
