About this listen

 Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the client's hoped-for future instead of their ongoing problems. Elliott E. Connie and Adam S. Froerer are the founders of The Solution Focused Universe and are two of the most respected and innovative experts in their field. Together, they have developed the Diamond model-a framework of SFBT skills and tools designed to guide a clinician through each session of therapy-which is one of the biggest innovations in the field of solution focused brief therapy. This is a practical guide for any clinician (beginner or seasoned professional) to understand the philosophy and practical steps of conducting an SFBT session. Among the topics discussed: How to presuppose the best in your client How to trust your client's capability The stance clinicians should adopt to be effective solution focused practitioners The art of asking meaningful questions The importance of autonomy This book also includes tools to help practitioners implement this approach, including a complete SFBT session with editorial comments that illustrate the thinking that goes into constructing a session, as well as 11 solution focused questions that practitioners can use. Connie and Froerer see their Diamond model as life-changing for all parties involved. They write, "This work is transformative not only for clients but also for you. When you view your clients as capable and strong, it changes you-and how you do your job. Your perceptions directly impact your actions." This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download. Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

it took a few chapters to get into it-but, I really enjoyed listening to this book. it's kind of like a reference book so I'll keep coming back to take note.

One thing good therapists do is see what is good in the person they support, in the same way a good trainer should with people they support. There is much to be gained from this book, but like panning for gold, the nuggets are bit tricky to find. If you rewrite this, please assume the best in the reader, and in that way you will be modelling the behaviours you clearly have in your day jobs with the rest of us.

Good effort but you fell into the trap
