This simple approach, variously called solution-oriented, solution-focused, strength-based, and competence-based therapy empowers clients, reenergizes burned-out and discouraged therapists, and happens to be a good fit with the demands of today’s managed care environment. The pioneers in this work provided the bare bones of a theory and methods which, by now, many therapists have learned.\u003cbr\u003e “In this comprehensive and exhaustive work, a second generation of solution-based therapists go beyond the basics and extend the therapy to the treatment of domestic violence, chronic and severe mental illness, grief, school problems, and many other serious problems that at first glance seemed beyond the reach of such a simple method. Do you want to reduce the length of or necessity for hospitalization? Do you want to reduce the waiting list at your agency? Do you want to learn about the latest theoretical developments or research? It’s all here.
