Overview

Focusing on solutions and not problems, thinking about the future and not the past, and understanding the effects of miracles—children do these things naturally. Here, leaders in the solution-focused approach to therapy provide clinicians with a guide to a kind of therapy that fits with children's natural way of being.

Synopsis

Describes the concepts and techniques of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) and applies them to working with children and their parents. Written by and for family therapists, the book explains how to prepare for the initial meeting and perform an assessment of the child and family, with particular emphasis on goal negotiation, and provides guidelines and case studies of treating children with uncommon needs.
