Description

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) promotes collaborative work and positive outcomes. It is an approach that can be used with individuals, families and groups in acute hospitals as well as with clients who are seen as outpatients or in the community. Written in an accessible style with over seventy case examples, this new edition of 'Focus on Solutions' shows how SFBT can help people who are suffering from voice or memory difficulties, a stammer, a stroke, HIV, traumatic brain injury or illness such as cancer or Parkinson's disease. Two new full session transcripts show clients beginning to shift from focusing on the problems in their lives towards a clear description of how they want their lives to be different. Recent outcomes are included on solution focused supervision within the NHS and examples of ways to help clients monitor progress and give feedback. 'Focus on Solutions' contains many useful ideas for experienced practitioners and those new to solution focused work, which is of growing importance in the health service as well as business and education. Therapists, doctors, nurses and psychologists will find this book an invaluable contribution to the field of reflective practice. 'Focus on Solutions' is a clear and inspiring application of the solution-focused approach in a medical and community setting . . . Bonus content includes how to be solution-focused in supervision, training new practitioners and measuring client outcomes. The varying and updated case examples brings the approach to life, demonstrates its practical nature and how it can be incorporated into existing speech and language therapy frameworks.

Author Biography:

Kidge Burns started working with solution focused (SF) practice and people with chronic physical ill-health in 1997. Kidge left the NHS in June 2016 and continues to provide supervision and training in SF practice, as well as seeing some private clients. She is currently a SF supervisor for a study at City University on SFBT in Aphasia. She set up a supervision process ('Ten Minute Talk'), which helped embed SF principles within her department and has delivered training throughout the UK and abroad, also contributing SF material to other books in 2009 and 2012. Her book Focus On Solutions (second edition 2016) presents a unique guide to using SF methods in a range of healthcare settings.
