Title: BRIEF THERAPY


1
BRIEF THERAPY
  • A- SOLUTION FOCUSED APPROACH

2
7 PRINCIPLES
  • .Emphasis on Mental Health -
  • Focus on the success of clients in dealing with
    their problems.
  • Rather than looking for what is wrong and how to
    fix it, look for what is right and discover how
    to use it.

3
7 PRINCIPLES
  • .Utilization -
  • Quality treatment involves eliciting from the
    client their strengths, resources, and health
    attributes that are needed to solve the
    presenting problem.
  • The therapist utilizes the clients exiting
    resources, skills, knowledge, beliefs,
    motivations, behavior, social network that leads
    them to their desired outcome.

4
7 PRINCIPLES
  • .An Atheoretical/Nonnormative/ Client Determined
    View
  • Therapist serves client by learning his/her
    unique way of understanding the problem.
  • Traditionally, therapy focused on problems and
    problem solving. When solution-focused, the
    therapist talks about changes, differences that
    make a difference and solutions, rather than
    talking about difficulties, complaints, and
    problems.

5
7 PRINCIPLES
  • Parsimony
  • KISS
  • Conducting treatment from the bottom up rather
    than from the top down.
  • The solution focused therapist does not believe
    that the problem is the tip of the iceberg. The
    problem is the problem.

6
7 PRINCIPLES
  • ..Change is Inevitable
  • Assumes that change is so much a part of living
    that clients cannot prevent themselves from
    changing.
  • Therapy becomes a matter of simply identifying
    those naturally occurring changes and then
    utilizing them in bringing about a solution.

7
7 PRINCIPLES
  • Present and Future Orientation
  • Focus is on the present and future.
  • Miracle Question

8
7 PRINCIPLES
  • .Cooperation
  • Therapist and client becomes a partner in
    solution finding.

9
7 PRINCIPLES
  • .Emphasis on Mental Health - Focus on the success
    of clients in dealing with their problems.
    Clients strengths, resources, and abilities are
    highlighted rather than their deficits and
    disabilities.
  • .Utilization - Quality treatment involves
    eliciting from the client their strengths,
    resources, and health attributes that are needed
    to solve the presenting problem.
  • .An Atheoretical/Nonnormative/ Client Determined
    View - Therapist serves client by learning his
    unique way of understanding the problem.
  • .Parsimony - KISS
  • .Change is Inevitable
  • .Present and Future Orientation
  • .Cooperation
