Publisher description
Learn the common--and not so common--uses of the SFBT approach
The Handbook of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a comprehensive guide for the application of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) with clients. Noted experts explain in detail the therapy practices and various uses for the approach. 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 unique book 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 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. The remaining chapters focus on therapist training and supervision. Extensive references are provided at the end of each chapter.
