Skills in Solution Focused Brief Counselling and Psychotherapy

This book provides a great introduction to the approach and I very much enjoyed it. I found the chapters were logical and engaging. All of the core issues pertinent to the solution focused appraoch are considered, so it is well a thumb through. -- Dr Dean-David Holyoake * drupal *
This book presents a template for the use of SFBT skills - and does it very well. It uses the everyday language and experiences of practice which many will find very useful. There is no doubt that the text is furnished throughout with the authors own style, which is open and honest. The book is easy to follow, and its flow encourages the reader to journey through the process of the approach, rather than focus upon its individual specifics. It includes a realistic view of how SFBT has progressed and developed - particularly towards the possibility of accreditation - and its recognition within psychological therapies (gaining the recognition it deserves alongside other approaches). This book will be useful for existing practitioners, but also for those looking at the approach for the first time. -- Mr David Bell * drupal *
