#SOLUTION FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY FULL#
It was so interesting and I came away feeling totally enthused and full of ideas”. This is one of the best training sessions I have ever been on. I particularly felt that the Silent Session and the Visual Session were useful. “Right from the start, I felt that the ethos of solution focused intervention would be a brilliant way of working. Lauren Seal, Head of Year 8, English Martyrs, Leicester Best course I have ever attended, so useful and so much fun“. The strategies have already been put to good use.

This led deShazer to design a Solution Focused “brief” therapy approach focusing on exceptions to the presenting problem rather than tracing the pathology of the problem – focusing on times when the client “ overcame the urge to x, y and z“ times when they “ pulled themselves back” or did something differently – whether it was random “ the sun was shining, so I felt better” or purposeful: “ I left the room and breathed deeply before I reacted.….”.

Milton Erickson’s work was harnessed by the psychotherapists Steve deShazer and Insoo Kim Berg in the 1970s to create a collaborative Solution Focused approach, encouraging people to talk about preferred futures rather than only tracing the pathology of the problem – the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Model.
Holding no theory of pathology, Erickson was interested in what helped people to change – he worked with the innate abilities of each person to bring about the desired changes they envisioned. The Solution Focused Approach is a competency-based approach that owes its origins to Milton Erickson.
