Infos

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) promotes collaborative work
and positive outcomes. It is an approach that can be used in acute
hospitals as well as with clients who are seen as outpatients or in
the community. Written in an accessible style with over seventy
case examples Focus on Solutions shows how SFBT can help people who
are suffering from voice or memory difficulties, a stammer, a
stroke, HIV, traumatic brain injury or illnesses such as cancer or
Parkinson' s disease.

The book provides a practical framework as to how individuals,
families and groups can begin to work on their strengths by
focusing on the solutions rather than the problems in their lives.
Focus on Solutions contains many useful ideas for experienced
practitioners and those new to solution focused work, which is of
growing importance in the health service as well as business and
education. Therapists, doctors, nurses or psychologists will find
this book an invaluable contribution to the field of reflective
practice.
