Full textAbstract:
The positive psychotherapy focused on for this study is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Insoo Kim Berg and Yvonne Dolan (2001) once described the essence of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as the “pragmatics of hope and respect” (p. 1) and despite Berg and Dolan’s declaration of hope’s importance in SFBT, little process research has been published looking at the “pragmatics” of hope in SFBT practice. Hope is seen as a common factor in psychotherapy since the human relationship, also known as the therapeutic alliance, is a foundation of psychotherapy. Hope plays a significant role in every human interaction and it is seen as a common factor in human relationships.
To begin to address this gap, a pilot study was conducted of an Insoo Kim Berg training recording, Irreconcilable Differences, in order to explore how she listened, selected and built hope in her work. Based on a SFBT technique focus, the preliminary results suggested Insoo Kim Berg builds hope relationally through the solution-building by working within the clients’ focus and their presenting problem. Four different yet interrelated hope phases in the SFBT solution building process were identified. To address this gap further, based on a SFBT stage focus, three cases by Insoo Kim Berg were analyzed in this study, Irreconcilable Differences, Over the Hump, and I’d Hear Laughter. The goal of this research was to demonstrate the how Berg listened, selected, and built hope with clients to validate her progression within and across the five SFBT solution-building stages, in all three cases through constant comparison, and to show how these findings are congruent with SFBT hopeful tenets. All with the intention of allowing the pragmatics of hope and respect to become more transparent for future SFBT practitioners.
Findings suggested building hope appears to be a relational process to building solutions and is co-constructed. Berg demonstrates how she embodies a hopeful stance throughout the duration of therapy. Results show how Berg builds hope within and across her progression of the solution-focused brief therapy solution-building stages, utilizing SFBT techniques and processes, which all align with the foundational SFBT tenets.

Thesis (MA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABTSRACT: The aim of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in a South African Youth Centre for young offenders, to which the court had sentenced them for two years. The study focused on the competencies and strengths of youth offenders, as well as on their capacity to find solutions to their problems, whilst being realistic and trying to accomplish positive change within the limits of the youth centre facility. An experimental and control group design was used in order to assess the impact of the therapeutic intervention. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated within three main domains of human experience: (1) subjective discomfort, (2) interpersonal relationships, and (3) social role performance. Two measures were used, namely the OQ-45.2 (outcome questionnaire) and unstandardised scaling questions relating to participants' personalised goals. Results show that no statistically significant improvement had occurred on the three measured dimensions. However, data obtained from the scaling questions reflected a more complete picture of the three areas of functioning identified and explored in this study. Improvement towards the achievement of young offenders' personalised goals seemed to be rapid at first, followed by a slightly slower rate of improvement and subsequent stabilisation. Scaling questions proved to be a useful technique for making complex aspects of these young offenders' lives more concrete and accessible to both the therapist and themselves. SFBT proved to be an effective method of intervention within group format in a facility for young offenders.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die navorsingsprojek was om die effektiwiteit van Oplossingsgerigte Terapie binne 'n Suid-Afrikaanse jeugsentrum vir jong oortreders, waartoe hulle vir twee jaar deur die hof gevonnis is, te evalueer. Hierdie studie se fokus was op die bevoegdhede en sterk punte van jeugdige oortreders, sowel as op hul vermoe om oplossings vir hul probleme te vind. Hierdie oogmerk was terselftertyd realisties in die poging om positiewe verandering binne die beperkinge van 'n jeugsentrum teweeg te bring. 'n Eksperimentele en kontrolegroepontwerp is gebruik om die impak van die terapeutiese intervensie te evalueer. Die effektiwiteit van die ingreep is ten opsigte van drie hoof areas wat verwant is aan menslike ervarings geevalueer: (1) subjektiewe ongemak, (2) interpersoonlike verhoudings, en (3) sosiale rolvervulling. Twee meetinstrumente is gebruik, naamlik die UV-45.2 (uitkomste vraelys) en ongestandaardiseerde skaleringsvrae wat verwant was aan deelnemers se persoonlike doelstellings. Resultate het getoon dat geen beduidende statistiese verbetering in die drie dimensies plaasgevind het nie. Data wat egter deur die stel van skaleringsvrae ingewin is, het 'n meer volledige beeld van die drie areas van funksionering wat in die studie geYdentifiseer en verken is, gereflekteer. Dit blyk dat die verbetering in die jong oortreders se persoonlike doelstellings aanvanklik vinnig geskied het, en gevolg is deur 'n effense stadiger tempo van verbetering en stabilisering. Volgens die navorsingstudie blyk dit dat skaleringsvrae 'n baie suksesvolle tegniek kan wees om komplekse aspekte van hierdie jong oortreders se lewens vir beide die terapeut en hulself meer konkreet en meer bereikbaar te maak. Dit blyk ook dat Oplossingsgerigte Terapie 'n effektiewe intervensiemetode binne groepformaat in 'n inrigting vir jong oortreders is.

Full textAbstract:
A number of findings emerged that were categorised and unified under two broad thematic headings: The Core Features of SFBT and The Key Elements of the SFBT, Therapeutic Relationship. By comparing perceptions between and within participating EP: adolescent dyads, similarities and differences were explored in their accounts. A similar, positive SFBT experience was perceived by EP and adolescent client, when viewed as a 'different' way of working, when collaborative work was reported and when a good relationship was described. EP and adolescent perceptions of their unique, therapeutic relationships were closely matched. Specifically, it appeared that when a good relationship was described, a favourable outcome ensued, but a less favourable outcome was reported when one or neither participant held a positive view of their relationship. Also, the absence of a hopeful outlook appeared to have impact upon the establishment of a good relationship and SFBT experience in general. The limitations of and the theoretical and practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed and future research directions considered with the key fields of SFBT and educational psychology

Full textAbstract:
It is understood that trauma is something that can affect people in life. Trauma is a term that is readily used to acknowledge the experience of someone exposed to an adverse life event. There are various psychological therapies that help individuals to overcome trauma experiences. The unique contribution of this study is that little is known about the way in which Solution Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT) can help clients coming to terms with such an experience, because it can help to facilitate post traumatic growth. SFBT is strengths based and is part of the positive psychology movement, where there is more of an emphasis on client resilience, rather than alleviating distress. SFBT offers a different way of working to the approaches already being utilised in this field. The current study aimed to provide insight into the experiences of Solution Focused Practitioners facilitating post traumatic growth during brief therapy, using qualitative methods. The study explored the experiences of a homogenous sample of six Solution Focused Practitioners; all had worked with trauma and were using SFBT in their working practice. Responses to questions asked during semi structured interviews were framed by the setting in which the practitioners worked, because they all operated from a centre known to the researcher. However, despite the potential influence of the setting, the researcher gained honest insight into the application of SFBT to trauma. Semi structured interviews were conducted and the interviews were transcribed. Verbatim transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and from this four main themes were found: (i) Who am I? – Becoming Solution Focused; (ii) A problem world where trauma exists; (iii) A positive cocoon where growth can occur; (iv) The longevity of the approach – a big fish in a small pond. Further exploration of these themes along with their subthemes is included in the paper. Research literature relevant to this study is discussed and implications for further research and practice are also taken into consideration.

Throughout the past 70 years, a great deal of research conducted on defining and testing problem-solving skills has led towards solution-focused practices and philosophies. As a result, some literature exists illustrating the efficacy of solution-focused practices. However, no published research exists on the factors that contribute to solution building. This study tested for components of solution building while creating a solution building inventory. Factor analysis failed to find specific factors within solution building. The results indicated that solution building is a unidimensional concept. Implications for using the solution building inventory are discussed.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
With its growing popularity in the field, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) training workshops are becoming more prevalent in the family therapy training field. Because SFBT represents an innovative approach to therapy, does teaching this model demand innovative ways to train its students or are the same methods used in teaching other models of family therapy sufficient? To begin to address this question, it would be important to know how trainees experience SFBT training as it currently exists. This study qualitatively examined the process that trainees experienced when learning SFBT. Fifteen individuals responded to an email questionnaire, with 7 of those individuals participating in follow-up telephone interviews. In summary, being able to practice using a solution focused approach with clients and receiving supervision on those sessions from a supervisor who used a solution focused framework in giving feedback were factors identified as being most helpful in facilitating the learning process. The study also examined how the participants merged their existing beliefs about people and the therapeutic process with the assumptions inherent to SFBT. Finally, the study examined distinct moments, defined as moments after which the trainee knew that SFBT was a model they could use effectively with their clients. The distinct moments provided a picture of how the training and learning came together in practice for the participants.Master of Science

Over the years, many interventions have been used to ameliorate couple distress and increase relationship satisfaction. These interventions have been getting shorter in duration. The purpose of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and impact of a brief intervention using a solution-focused approach (SFBT) for couples. The brief intervention included two two-hour consultations. Data were collected from 30 couples and were analyzed using a repeated measures design. The analyses yielded mixed results. There were statistically significant improvements in the areas of individual well-being and relationship knowledge. There were no significant differences in terms of marital satisfaction, communication skills, and readiness to change, although positive trends were observed in this pilot phase. Implications for future research and development are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the perceptions of elementary school counselors regarding their experience in using solution-focused brief counseling for meeting the demanding responsibilities of their job and the particular needs of the students they serve. Specifically, the four research questions addressed the school counselors' perceptions regarding: (1) use and importance of particular solution-focused techniques; (2) effectiveness of solution-focused strategies in addressing specific student issues; (3) training in solution-focused brief counseling; and (4) use of this approach in settings other than the counseling office.
The data for this study were collected from elementary school counselors in Virginia who had previously received training in solution-focused brief counseling. This training was provided by their school systems as inservice and was conducted by the same workshop leader in all instances. The school counselors were sent a questionnaire that was developed by the researcher. The survey contained a selection of Likert-style scale questions, yes/no items, rank-order items, and open-ended questions. The final section contained questions designed to obtain demographic information about the respondent and the school and students they served. The researcher conducted a follow-up interview with several school counselors to supplement the survey data. The data analysis was descriptive and relational in nature.
The findings of the study indicate that elementary school counselors who have received training in solution-focused brief counseling philosophies and techniques find it important and useful for working with children. The majority of the school counselors indicated that they use all of the solution-focused techniques listed in the survey to at least some degree. Their responses to the survey indicated the perception that this approach is effective with various student issues. The school counselors reported the perception that they have some proficiency with solution focused brief counseling and that they have interest in pursuing more training. The school counselors also indicated that they were able to use solution-focused brief counseling philosophies in school settings other than the counseling office.
In summary, school counselors appear to have a relatively positive perception of solution-focused brief counseling as an approach for working with elementary age school students. Recommendations for practice and future research are presented.Ph. D.

Most of studies have revealed that children entering foster care have various mental health problems and need help of mental health care professionals. Unfortunately, many authors notice that psychological help rendered for foster children lack organization, for mental health care professionals giving services for foster children are forced to use methods, which empirically are tested among adults or among children having specific mental health disorders or to use methods without empirical proof. Thus issue concerning effective psychotherapeutic methods for foster children remains especially relevant. The aim of the study is to assess the potential of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) improving psychosocial functioning of adolescents in foster care and factors related to better outcome of the SFBT. Research group consisted of 228 adolescents living in foster care homes (12-18 years old). 47 adolescents participated in SFBT group, 47 adolescents from the rest of the group were selected for control group. Research methods: 1) three methods for evaluation of psychosocial functioning; 2) five methods for evaluation of intervention outcomes. Research consisted of three stages: 1) evaluation of the psychosocial functioning of adolescents living in foster care; 2) intervention for treatment group; 3) evaluation of the changes in psychosocial functioning after the period of 6 weeks since first evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
This study was set in a mainstream secondary school, where a group of Year 7 pupils who had already experienced repeated exclusions were faced with the prospect of the cycle continuing. The researcher, who was also the educational psychologist for the school, used solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) in preference to previously unsuccessful methods of intervention in individual sessions with eight pupils over a period of one term. Employing a qualitative research methodology, based on an action research framework, the practitioner researcher had three main aims - to support the pupils' continued attendance and at the same time evaluate the impact of intervention; to simultaneously develop a flexible model of SFBT that was responsive to pupil need from an initial model based on a review of current literature; to consider the compatibility of this approach with the school context. The key findings, in relation to outcome, were much improved ratings by seven out of eight pupils of their perceived situations at the end of intervention, compared with their initial assessments; significant positive change over time in teacher comparative ratings of pupil behaviour; reductions in the numbers of exclusions and reported problem incidents. A flexible model, rather than one which is fixed and formulaic, proved to be critical to constructive collaborition, as was careful attention to the development of a blame-free therapeutic alliance. Major deviations from the initial model were the inclusion of detailed problem talk; the repeated revision of both problem and goal definition; the omission of the miracle question and the utilisation of the technique of 'externalisation' from Narrative Therapy. The rationale for these developments is discussed, along with some proposals as to underlying processes. Engagement with school systems proved to be less than satisfactory, although the revised individual model of intervention was not undermined by this. Nevertheless, some implications for compatibility of SFBT with school procedures are considered in the light of this finding, with suggestions for a number of possible applications of SFBT in relation to the everyday working practices of an educational psychologist.

Av 125 funna publikationer har nio valts ut som underlag. Med utgångspunkt av sju variabler genom-förs en dokumentanalys. Resultaten visar att designen på forskningen är spridd. Två av under-sökningarna är kvasi-experimentella. Typvärdet för studierna är aktionsforskning. Av de nio undersökta publikationerna studerar sju effekten av en intervention där barn och ungdomar befinner sig ”riskzonen”. Endast två av studierna visar effekt av lösningsinriktat arbete vid inlärningssituationen. Resultaten visar generellt på en lovande effekt av en lösningsfokuserad intervention i skolkontexten. Dock, i vissa fall, har en effekt uteblivit. Effekterna är inte enty-diga och ingen av studierna visar explicit en effekt av de kriterier som ställs upp för en lös-ningsfokuserad intervention.

Full textAbstract:
On a particularly balmy Christchurch evening in March 2012, I attended a parent information evening for my son at his school. As he was embarking on his first year of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement, we were highly attentive. The message was clear, to improve his chances in this highly competitive environment, he would need to work hard to improve academically. This sounded reasonable however, what if he had no idea of what academic improvement means; or what if he knows what it means, but doesn’t know how to go about it. Later, we discussed these concerns with his Dean and were told of the academic mentoring scheme that the school provides. This we were told, would improve his motivation, improve his self esteem and most of all, improve his results. Later that term, my son attended one session of academic mentoring that his school provided. I was curious and asked him to describe his experience. Unfortunately, there was to be only one session. He felt being ‘told what to do’ was not congenial with what he wanted from the programme and the fact that nobody seemed interested in ‘what I already know works’, meant he and the academic mentoring programme parted company. This experience opened up many questions and lead me to consider what does work in successful academic mentoring programmes? Could Solution Focused counselling offer a practical alternative to current practises because of its focus on what is working rather than what is not? The realities of life in a New Zealand high school, mean that teaching, mentoring and counselling needs to be efficient and responsive to the unique challenges of working with adolescents. One such efficient response is Solution Focused Therapy. The philosophy behind this theory is a practical fit with academic mentoring, for three reasons; its focus on solutions rather than problems, its brevity and change can be immediate. Therefore, the subject of this research is academic improvement, specifically, the role that a student’s perception of their own ability plays in contributing to academic improvement. The enquiry falls within a social constructionist’s lens, as the findings rely on the views and voices of participants in terms of how life experiences have developed, enabling perceptions to emerge. The findings from this research portfolio reveal that students’ perceptions on their own academic ability can be enhanced through the use of Solution Focused Therapy. The groups expected to benefit from the findings include; high school students, teachers, counsellors as well as others who are interested in features that influence student success in a high school setting.

Full textAbstract:
Novice solution-focused brief therapists often have difficulty delivering scaling questions within the languaging of their clients. To help beginning Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) trainees, this researcher has created the metaphorically enhanced scaling question (MESQ) training program. By incorporating a meaning making system such as the metaphor, the scaling question becomes expressive and symbolic to the client and his or her own story. The MESQ objective is to assist novice therapists in facilitating the SFBT scaling question creatively through the use of metaphor. A metaphor is a created meaning isomorphic to its original meaning or experience. The metaphor will be co-constructed through collaboration between client and therapist. The MESQ program encompasses three key elements of SFBT: listening, selecting, and building into three tangible activities designed for novice therapists to learn, articulate, and demonstrate their comprehension of the modified scaling technique (Bavelas, De Jong, Franklin, Froerer, Gingerich, Kim, Korman, Langer, Lee, McCullum, Jordan, & Trepper, 2013)
This research is qualitative in nature, due to the examined experiences of the MESQ training program participants. Action research has been chosen to emphasize the learning aspect, and assist in training development. The MESQ training program will be evaluated based on Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluating training programs: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. (Kirkpatrick, 1996). The focus of this research project will be to refine and develop the MESQ training program through analytic evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of the experiences of nurses who have undertaken training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). While the clinical outcomes of using SFBT, and other psychological therapies, to treat clients have been the subject of much research, the outcomes of training therapists to use SFBT has been relatively unexplored. It is, therefore, my intention to address, in part, this uncharted area of practice. Utilising a mixed methodology, the study is divided into two Stages. In Stage I, an original Solution Focused (SF) methodology is developed and used to conduct individual interviews with twenty participants. Interviews are transcribed and treated as narrative texts, and are then subjected to multi-factored analysis enabling the synthesis of a ‘group narrative’ and the construction of a typology of experience. In Stage II, I conduct further in-depth interviews with three of the original participants and utilise a hermeneutic methodology, drawing on the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, to engage with the texts generated from these interviews. The texts are explored thematically, and through the nursing metaparadigm of Jacqueline Fawcett, and are compared with a metaparadigm of SF practice. The research suggests that training is SFBT can have a profound effect on the clinical practice, and professional identity, of nurses, and that this is related to the paradigm of nursing which informs their practice. Where the nursing paradigm is of the dominant ‘assessment and delivery of care needs’ modality, SFBT training has little to offer the nurse; however, where the nursing paradigm reflects an ‘interpersonal, dynamic’ modality based on shared relationships, training in SFBT can be a transformative experience for the nurse. This research makes an original contribution to the field of SFBT and to our understanding of the relationship between SFBT and nursing. Building on the work of earlier scholars, it argues that SFBT is congruent with some nursing paradigms, and not all nursing paradigms as previously suggested. It also advances our understanding of how the scope and field of SF practice may be delineated.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescents with health disorders experience an increased risk of psychological functioning problems. However, the lack of availability of psychological help and research on methods’ effectiveness in this group is still being extensively discussed worldwide. Theoretical assumptions of the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), closely related to the ideas of constructivism and systems theory, indicate that therapeutic effect of the model can be viewed as not limited to changes in the problem presented for the therapy, but as having potential of spreading into other areas of psychological functioning. Thus the aim of the dissertation is to estimate the changes in the severity of psychological functioning problems during SFBT among in-patient and out-patient adolescents experiencing mental or physical health disorders.
Participants were 12-18 year old out-patients of two primary mental health care centers and in-patients of a rehabilitation hospital (N=131). Treatment group consisted of 23 out-patients and 21 in-patients (control groups accordingly 23 and 28 adolescents). Changes in the severity of problems presented for the therapy were assessed by The Therapist’s Evaluation of Improvement and The Client’s Evaluation of Progress, while the severity of psychological functioning problems and its changes were assessed by Standardized Interview for the Evaluation of Adolescents’ Problems and Checklist of Adolescent Behavior Changes.

Tačiau dažnai diskutuojama psichologinės pagalbos prieinamumo ir metodų efektyvumo tyrimų šioje grupėje trūkumo problema. Darbe tyrinėjamo į sprendimus sutelkto trumpalaikio konsultavimo (SSTK) prielaidos, kurios glaudžiai siejasi su konstruktyvizmo ir bendrosios sistemų teorijos idėjomis, leidžia galvoti, kad SSTK terapinis poveikis neapsiriboja tik konkrečios problemos sprendimu, bet turi galimybę išsiplėsti į kitas psichologinio funkcionavimo sritis. Tad šio tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti dėl psichikos ir somatinės sveikatos sutrikimų gydomų paauglių psichologinio funkcionavimo problemų laipsnio kitimą SSTK metu. Tyrime dalyvavo 131 vienoje reabilitacijos ligoninėje ir dviejuose pirminės psichikos sveikatos priežiūros centruose gydomas 12 – 18 m. paauglys. Poveikio grupę sudarė 23 PPSPC ir 21 reabilitacinės ligoninės pacientas (kontrolines grupes – atitinkamai 23 ir 28).

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the solution-focused approach in addressing academic, motivational, social and emotional needs of children with reading problems. Fourteen children attending remedial reading programs were matched on age and randomly assigned into the intervention and the control condition. Children's literacy skills, reading motivation and practice, as well as their self-esteem and psychoemotional functioning, were measured before and after the program. The intervention group received five 40 minute solution focused sessions that addressed participants' reading strategies, attitudes and practices. The control group comprised the homework support condition. Effect size analyses were conducted to evaluate the results. Results revealed that children in the intervention group showed growth in their listening comprehension and reading fluency skills at post-test relative to control participants. Furthermore, participants in the intervention condition improved in several aspects of their reading motivation and self-esteem and showed better attitudes to school and a decrease in anxiety at post-test. Children in the control condition increased their spelling and phonological awareness skills and reported an improvement in social self-perceptions and emotional functioning. Results of the study are discussed with reference to the effectiveness of the solution focused approach in addressing the complex array of needs of students with learning disabilities.Cette étude a évalué l'efficacité de l'approche thérapeutique orientée vers les solutions en s'adressant aux besoins académiques, motivationnels, sociaux et émotionnels d'enfants ayant des déficiences de lecture. Quatorze enfants participant aux programmes de rattrapage en lecture ont été jumelés selon l'âge et ont été répartis en groupes d'intervention et de contrôle de façon aléatoire. La capacité de lecture, la motivation de lire et les habitudes de lecture, ainsi que leur estime de soi et fonctionnement psycho-émotionnel, ont été mesurés avant et après le programme. Le groupe d'intervention a reçu cinq sessions de thérapie orientées vers les solutions de 40 minutes chaque. Il est adressé aux stratégies de lecture des participants, leurs attitudes et habitudes. Les enfants dans le groupe de contrôle ont reçu du soutien dans leurs devoirs. Des analyses des indices d'efficacité ont été conduites afin d'évaluer les résultats. Ces résultats ont démontré que les enfants dans le groupe d'intervention ont amélioré leur compréhension orale et leurs aptitudes de lecture orale courante. De plus, ces participants ont amélioré plusieurs aspects de leur motivation de lecture et d'estime de soi. Ils ont démontré de meilleures attitudes envers l'école. D'autre part, les enfants dans le groupe de contrôle ont amélioré leurs aptitudes d'écriture et conscience phonologique et ont montré une amélioration d'estime de soi sociale et fonctionnement émotionnel.

Full textAbstract:
Research indicates the potential utility of schools as sites for service delivery of mental health interventions. The application of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) within the school domain is reflected in the child psychotherapy literature. Findings on the use of SFBT in school settings suggest that it may be well suited to school contexts given its time-efficient, goal-directed, and strengths-based behavioral approach.
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of SFBT with at-risk youth in an alternative school setting. The researcher utilized a multiple case study design to examine the impact of a 6-session SFBT intervention on adolescent behavioral outcomes. Six students were randomized to one of three baseline conditions and received the SFBT intervention following baseline data collection. Data were obtained from multiple raters at baseline, posttest, and 6-week follow-up. In addition, students completed self-reported ratings at the beginning of each SFBT intervention session. Data were evaluated using non-regression approaches and visual analyses.
Preliminary results indicated that four out of six students exhibited reliable change (6-point increase in post-ORS mean scores), and four out of the six students demonstrated clinically significant change (baseline ORS mean scores below the adolescent clinical cutoff of <28). Results also indicated a decrease in total problem behavior scores at posttest for all informants on a normed assessment of emotional and behavioral functioning. Follow-up data were collected for four out of six students, and results suggested that this decrease in ratings was maintained or decreased further across all raters for three out of the four student participants. Overall, preliminary results indicated the potential utility of SFBT with at-risk youth in an alternative school environment. Strengths and limitations of the current study, as well as additional research aims (e.g., impact of therapist alliance, fidelity monitoring in SFBT) and future research areas are also presented.

This study examined the effect of the use of Brief-Solution Focused Therapy procedures on a young adolescent male, whose history suggested alcohol involvement on a daily basis. The data given during the baseline, intervention and follow-up phases, were obtained using the index of alcohol involvement scale, developed by Hudson.
The A-B-A single system research design was used to analyze the data in all three phases. The conclusion drawn from the findings suggests that a series of brief –solution focused therapy reduced the alcohol involvement of the young adolescent male. The result of a student t statistic test also showed that there was a statistical significance between the baseline phase and the intervention phase, thereby supporting the conclusion of this study.

The purpose of this grant proposal was to locate and identify potential funding sources, and write a grant to fund a program that would provide SFBT training to mental health professionals employed and/or interning at the Orange Coast College Student Health Center in Orange County, California. An extensive literature review was conducted, which increased knowledge about the special mental health needs of Community College students, particularly within the Orange Coast College student population. A search for potential funding sources via the Internet and a grant database resulted in the selection of the California Mental Health Services Authority's Community College Student Mental Health Program Grant as the best funding source for this project. Subsequently, a grant was written to support the implementation of the proposed SFBT Training seminar at Orange Coast College in California. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of this project.

Unfortunately, many authors notice that psychological help rendered for foster children lack organization, for mental health care professionals giving services for foster children are forced to use methods, which empirically are tested among adults or among children having specific mental health disorders or to use methods without empirical proof. Thus issue concerning effective psychotherapeutic methods for foster children remains especially relevant. The aim of the study is to assess the potential of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) improving psychosocial functioning of adolescents in foster care and factors related to better outcome of the SFBT. Research group consisted of 228 adolescents living in foster care homes (12-18 years old). 47 adolescents participated in SFBT group, 47 adolescents from the rest of the group were selected for control group. Research methods: 1) three methods for evaluation of psychosocial functioning; 2) five methods for evaluation of intervention outcomes. Research consisted of three stages: 1) evaluation of the psychosocial functioning of adolescents living in foster care; 2) intervention for treatment group; 3) evaluation of the changes in psychosocial functioning after the period of 6 weeks since first evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined hope and subjective well-being among trauma survivors at community-based clinics in Gauteng, in order to develop a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) intervention model which may facilitate hope and subjective well-being. To meet this aim, a multiphase mixed methods research design was implemented. During Phase I, a cross-sectional survey design was employed to determine the incidence of hope and subjective well-being among trauma survivors (n = 120). A biographical questionnaire and questionnaires measuring hope, positive and negative affect, life satisfaction, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were administered. During Phases II and III, a multiple case study design was implemented to describe SFBT and explore the experience of hope and subjective well-being, during and after exposure to SFBT, among a small group of trauma survivors (n = 7). Qualitative data, collected from therapeutic sessions and semi-structured individual interviews, were thematically analysed. During Phase IV, findings were integrated with existing literature to develop an SFBT intervention model that could facilitate hope and subjective well-being among trauma survivors. Results from Phase I suggested that the participants experienced low levels of hope, positive affect, and life satisfaction. High levels of negative affect, as well as symptoms of depression and PTSD were evident. In Phases II and III, qualitative data indicated that SFBT contributed towards participants’ experience of hope and subjective well-being. In particular, the therapeutic conversation; empathy and acceptance in therapy; visualising a better future; and focusing on strengths instead of the trauma, facilitated these experiences. Accordingly, an SFBT model, “Journey of Possibilities”, was proposed to facilitate hope and subjective well-being among trauma survivors.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2020.

This study was set in a mainstream primary school in Scotland where a group of children had been identified by their class teachers and parents as presenting as quiet, shy, withdrawn and/or anxious. The researcher was an educational psychologist in the local authority where the study took place. S primary aged children at stages PS, P6 and P7 (aged 9 to 11 years) of the Scottish Primary education system were involved in a group process in their school, consisting of 6 sessions over the course of 2 months. The intervention combined elements from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This was a strength based approach which aimed to focus on positive strengths and increase resilience. The individual nature of the therapy required a flexible model. A qualitative research methodology was used. The general aim of this research was to investigate this combined therapeutic process within an applied psychology perspective. The research set out to study the experiences of a group of children during and after they participated in the process. A further aim of the research was to explore the process from my own perspective as the therapist and facilitator. Data was collected during and after each session and post intervention data was collected from children, parents and teachers. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (JP A) was used to analyse the data. Findings indicated that the children found the intervention helpful and they were able to identify particular aspects of SFBT and EMDR which they had found useful.

The aim of the study was to look at a particular work group of housing supporters, whomhave implemented two special working methods in their work. The methods have been implemented by two of the housing supporters that also have special education in the methodsSOC (Sense of Coherence) and solution focused brief therapy. The study is based on anethnographic observation and analysis of documents that are used in the implementation. To analyse the information that was given at the observation and in the document I´ve used a theory which illustrates the significance of developing professions so their knowledge become legitimate. I´ve also used a theory that illustrates the importance of implementation and how it´s done at its best. In conclusion, the study shows that the work group have the will to implement new methods in their work. The working group also has the ability to carry out the implementation, butthey are not aware of their own expertise, which should be clarified in order to achieve successful implementation. Difficulties have been demonstrated in terms of the understanding of the new working methods. These difficulties with the understanding of the methods can be a barrier to successful implementation or do so the implementation will take longer time to become successful. The two colleges with specified knowledge became leaders to the group and steered the work group to make decisions based on the methods of SOC and solution focused brief therapy. The investment in providing the housing supporters with special education, space to implement these two working methods also gave effects on the organization.

Full textAbstract:
Studien ämnade att undersöka området för lösningsfokuserat arbetssätt. Lösningsfokuserat arbetssätt handlar om att skifta fokus från problem till att istället fokusera på lösningar. Tidigare har arbetssättet främst initierats i klientsamtal men idag är det även förekommande inom ledarskap. Lösningsfokuserat ledarskap handlar om att hjälpa medarbetaren hitta vägar framåt med fokus på målet som medarbetaren har. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur chefer inom den offentliga sektorn använder lösningsfokuserat arbetssätt och hur cheferna upplever att det fungerar i organisationen och i relationen med medarbetarna. En kvalitativ forskningsansats valdes som metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Vid analys av det insamlade materialet genomfördes en manifest innehållsanalys. Studiens resultat visar att chefernas intresse för lösningsfokuserat arbetssätt väcktes för att det fokuserade på lösningar istället för problem. Detta kan koppla samman med ett salutogent perspektiv, där det handlar om att fokusera på vad som gör människor friska istället för på vad som gör människor sjuka. Cheferna upplevde också att de arbetar med lösningsfokus som en pågående process och hade bland annat uppnått resultat i form av delaktighet, kreativitet och medskapande hos medarbetarna. Detta kan kopplas till socialkonstruktion, vilket är utgångspunkten för lösningsfokuserat arbetssätt. Då handlar det om att verkligheten skapas i dialogen mellan människor. Cheferna upplevde också att effektiviteten hade ökat inom organisationen och att det hade resulterat i ett öppnare klimat på arbetsplatsen. Detta i sin tur kan kopplas samman med hälsofrämjande arbetsplatser då det är viktigt att det finns utvecklingsmöjligheter och möjlighet till välmående.The intention with this study was to gain broader understanding for solution-focused brief therapy. Solution-focused brief therapy is a method that is shifting focus from problems to focus on solutions instead. Previously, the work method has been initiated in client talks, but today it is also used in leadership. Solution-focused leadership is about helping employees to find ways forward with a focus on the goal that they have. It is about asking solution-focused questions. The aim of the study was to investigate how public sector managers use solution-focused brief therapy methods and how they experience that the method works in the organization and in the relationship with the co-workers. A qualitative research method was chosen with semi-structured interviews as the data collection method. When analyzing the collected material a manifest content analysis was conducted. The results of the study show that the managers’ interest for solution-focused approaches was created because it focused on solutions instead of problems. This can be linked to a salutogenic perspective, which focuses on what makes people healthy instead of what makes people sick. The managers also experience that working with solution-focus is an ongoing process and, among other things, achieved results in terms of participation, creativity and employee co-creation. This can be linked to social construction where solution-focused work methods have it origins from. In social construction it is about creating reality in the dialogue between people. The managers also felt that the efficiency had increased within the organization and that it had resulted in a more open climate at the workplace. This in turn can be linked to health-promoting workplaces as it is important that there are development opportunities and opportunities for well-being.

Full textAbstract:
The 1990s were a period of economic crisis and mass unemployment. The dissertation shows that in the labour market policy guidelines in the period 1978–2004, a dichotomy was constructed between, on the one hand, a group of unemployed described in positive terms as potentially able to gain new employment, and, on the other hand, a group – referred to in the dissertation as the Others – whose exclusion and marginalisation were seen as permanent.
Unemployment has not always been defined as a social problem. The nature of the problem of unemployment has been understood and conceptualised differently over time. Frames of interpretation contribute to the construction and/or reproduction of categories of unemployed within the context of active Swedish labour market policies. The point of departure for the study is that the definition of social problems is a complex process of social construction. It is an active process of re(construction), in which certain problems become perceived as social problems while others are not.
The flexibilisation of the labour market, and of labour market policy, is an institutional and discursive process that leads to new categorisations and otherings on the labour market.
In the wake of the 1990s crisis, and of the more structural transformation of the Swedish labour market, a group of long-term unemployed has emerged. In the official guidelines of the labour market policy, the recommendations are to treat this group within the framework of the measures and activities that earlier applied to groups with disabilities. In this process, the structural labour market problem becomes defined politically in terms of individual disabilities. This is not only a process of individualisation, but also a process of medicalization. In this manner, unemployment, and particularly long-term unemployment, becomes analogous to disability.

Full textAbstract:
Studien har ämnat att undersöka om den lösningsfokuserade metoden kan användas för att skapa ett tillitsbaserat ledarskap som är aktuellt inom offentliga verksamheter. Den lösningsfokuserade metoden har sin grund i att fokusera på resurser och tillgångar hos individen, deras önskade tillstånd i framtiden samt på vad som fungerar istället för att fokusera på vad som inte fungerar. Lösningsfokus har sin grund i samtalsterapi men är idag en evidensbaserad metod som används inom både ledarskap och organisationsutveckling. Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka hur ledare använder den lösningsfokuserade metoden i praktiken samt vad detta har gjort för skillnad för dem, deras ledarskap och deras verksamheter. Studien har även noga undersökt vad tillit som begrepp innebär och om det lösningsfokuserade arbetssättet bidrar till en ökad tillit och ett tillitsbaserat ledarskap. Teoriansatsen har bestått av systemteori, socialkonstruktivistisk teori, lösningsfokuserad metod samt teorier om tillit. En kvalitativ forskningsansats har valts med fem stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjupersonerna är ledare inom offentlig verksamhet samt managementkonsulter inom lösningsfokuserat ledarskap. Vid analysen av det empiriska materialet användes en innehållsanalys. Studiens resultat visar att den lösningsfokuserade metoden har skapat en stor skillnad för våra informanter i deras ledarskap och organisationer. Deras upplevelse av lösningsfokus är att det inte bara är ett metodarbete utan även en värdegrund samt ett sätt att förhålla sig till livet på och andra människor. Den lösningsfokuserade metoden erbjuder samtalstekniker där man med specifika frågor letar efter styrkor och bygger vidare på individens resurser. Informanternas upplevelse är att den lösningsfokuserade metoden sparar tid, förhindrar energiläckage, arbetsmiljön blir bättre, effektiviteten höjs, man når målen fortare och har roligare på sin arbetsplats. Studiens resultat visar även att den lösningsfokuserade metoden bidrar till en hög grad av tillit inom och utom organisationer vilket skapar stora vinster såsom enade ledningsgrupper och höga resultat på medarbetarenkäter.The study aims to investigate whether the solution-focused method can be used to create a trust-based leadership that is highly relevant in the public sector. The solution-focused method is based to focus on the resources and assets of the individual, their desired state in the future and the focus on what functions, rather than what does not function. Solution-focus is based on individual therapy but is today an evidence-based method used in both leadership and organizational development. The purpose of the study has been to investigate how leaders in the public sector use the solution-focused method in practice, and what difference this has made for them, their leadership and their organizations. The study has also carefully examined what trust as a concept means, and whether the solution-focused approach contributes to increased trust and trust-based leadership. The theory approach has consisted of system theory, social constructionist theory and theories of trust. A qualitative research approach has been chosen with five semi-structured interviews as a method. The interviewees are leaders in the public sector, and management consultants within solution-focused leadership. In the analysis of the empirical material, a content analysis was used. The results of the study reveal that the solution-focused method has made a great difference for our informants in their leadership and organizations. Their experience of solution-focus is that it is not only a method of work, but also a value base and a way of relating to life and other people. The solution-focused model provides conversational techniques where you look for strengths with the help of specific questions, and build on the individual resources. The informants’ experiences show that the solution-focused method saves time, prevents energy leakage, improves the work environment, increases efficiency, leads to faster goal achievement and creates a more enjoyable workplace. The results of the study also present that the solution-focused method contributes to a higher degree of trust within and outside organizations which also creates large profits such as united management teams and high results on employee surveys.

Full textAbstract:
Background & objective
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) have been the treatment of choice for problem or pathological gambling in the field in Western countries, and their efficacy has been supported by a considerable empirical research. Alternative treatments are little known; and such treatments for minority ethnic populations have been scarce. This study adopted Kazdin‘s procedures for assessing the acceptability of treatments (Kazdin, 1980a, 1980b, 1981) to test alternative treatments of problem or pathological gambling as a part of the broadening of treatment choices. This thesis presented 2009 survey results from counselling service providers in New Zealand on the acceptability of alternative treatments to problem or pathological gambling. The thesis, therefore, reports the responses of counsellors to counselling vignette case examples, not the views of actual clients viewing counselling.
Methods
The survey pack was distributed to counselling service providers in New Zealand. The survey included descriptions of sixteen vignettes of case examples of counselling treatments. Categories of clients in the vignette case examples included two genders (male, female) and three ethnicities (Pakeha, Maori, and Asian). Four counselling treatment conditions were selected from Solution-Focused Brief Counselling (SFBC), SFBC+Multicultural Counselling (SFBC+MC), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). CBT and MI were only administered to Pakeha clients for the purpose of comparison of the alternatives.
Two measurements were used. The first a modified Problem Gambling Treatment Evaluation Inventory (TEI) was used to measure the acceptability levels of the alternative treatments for problem or pathological gambling. The Cross-Cultural Counselling Inventory-Revised (CCCI-R) was used for measuring the perceived cross-cultural competency of counsellors depicted in the vignette case examples.
Findings
Counsellors‘ ratings of the vignette case examples revealed the following findings:
Measurement 1: Problem Gambling Treatment Evaluation Inventory (TEI). Overall, 1) The survey results of TEI questionnaires showed significant main effects across the four treatment conditions and the three client ethnicities, and there was no difference according to client genders. 1.1) SFBC+MC and SFBC were slightly more acceptable than CBT, and much more acceptable than MI. 1.2) The TEI scores for Pakeha clients were much higher than for Maori clients, and the scores for the Asian clients were in between. 2) There was a significant interaction effect between the four treatments and the three client ethnicities. 2.1) For Maori clients: SFBC+MC was much more acceptable than SFBC; for Pakeha clients: SFBC+MC was the most acceptable, closely followed by SFBC, CBT, then MI; and for Asian clients: SFBC was more acceptable than SFBC+MC. 2.2) SFBC+MC was most acceptable to Maori clients across all treatments and ethnic groups. 2.3) The variation in acceptability ratings for SFBC was larger than for SFBC+MC in Maori and Asian clients, and less variable in Pakeha. 2.4) Maori clients had the largest mean variation between SFBC and SFBC+MC, and Pakeha clients had the smallest mean variation.
Measurement 2: Cross-Cultural Counselling Inventory-Revised (CCCI-R). The survey results of the CCCI-R showed significant main effects across the four treatment conditions and the three ethnicities. 1) The counsellors depicted in the vignette case examples under the SFBC+MC treatment condition were rated with the highest mean competence score and least variability across all the treatments and the ethnicities, the MI treatment condition were rated with the lowest mean score, CBT and SFBC were in between. 2) The counsellors described in the vignette case examples were rated more culturally competent with Pakeha clients and Maori clients than with Asian clients in the vignette case examples, the rating levels for both Pakeha and Maori were similar. 3) The Maori client in the vignette case examples had the largest mean gap between SFBC and SFBC+MC, and Pakeha client in the vignette case examples had the smallest mean gap.
Clinical implications
The tests of the acceptability of alternative treatment for problem or pathological gambling could provide useful information about 1) whether the above alternatives would be recommended or selected by the counselling service providers in their clinical practice, 2) which treatment would be more/less preferred by which ethnic group, 3) whether it would work or be worth the efforts to introduce or promote the above alternatives to the counselling service providers, 4) what needs to be explored for increasing levels of the acceptability of alternative treatment to problem or pathological gambling, 5) adding training in the techniques to counsellors training programme and curricula.
The limitation of this study was discussed and future research was suggested.

The study is an application of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and astrology. It aims to explore the effects of astrology and SFBT on clients. The emphasis of astrology on clients’ positive characters and the positive view of SFBT can elevate their abilities and enhance empowerment. In addition, because of the utilization of clients’ resources and power, it can help them solve their problems more efficiently. The formal participants of this study included two clients who were facing either emotional or interpersonal problems. It took them three and five sessions in the process of individual counseling respectively. In the first session of counseling, the counselor mainly used the client’s astrology horoscopes to make some explanation and exploration of their problems. During the rest of counseling sessions, the counselor tried to elaborate interpretations in astrological ways and worked on them by using the SFBT skills (for example, positive feedback and reframing). In the counseling process, the counselor used a lot of positive reframing to help clients review themselves and find their potentials which they might ignore before. According to the results of this study, the combination of SFBT and astrology can bring clients relaxation. And the empowerment to clients can increase efficiency on their problem solving. It can also provoke clients’ sense of hope and positivity by creating imagination and construct of a wonderful future. Through the exploration of identification of concrete goals and the steps to complete them, it can gradually solve clients’ problems. This study is an attempt to a new model for counseling. I hope it may provide different perspectives and suggestions for related studies in the future.

The thesis aims at how solution-focused brief therapy improves prenatal and postpartum depression, serving as a reference of prevention intervention of the psychological care mechanism. There are two purposes of the research. First, from the perspective of pressure management, it adopts solution-focused brief therapy to assist the pregnant and postpartum women to deal with the sources of their pressure, constructing the suitable counseling patterns that improve their depression. Second, it tries to probe into the effects of solution-focused brief therapy and to know how well it can improve the depression levels and distress index of the pregnant and the postpartum women. The research adopts quasi-experimental design, collecting cases from the Obstetrics and Gynecology of a medical center in Taipei City. By using the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale, the research divides the third trimester pregnant women who scores 12 or higher into two groups, the Health Education Group and the Counseling Group. The former group receives health education leaflets about postpartum depression and other related topics, while the latter group receives 3 solution-focused brief therapy during the third trimester, the week after giving birth, and the 6th week after giving birth respectively. After each intervention, those in the Psycho-educational Consultation Group have to complete questionnaires of both Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale and Distress Thermometer. Those in the Health Education Group also complete the same questionnaires during the first and the 6th week respectively. The research consists of 38 effective samples, with 20 from the Health Education Group and 18 from the Counseling Group. The results are as follows: 1. Solution-focused brief therapy work effectively on improving the depression levels of the pregnant and postpartum women. The Counseling Group obviously scores lower on depression after the intervention, and they score lower than those in the Health Education Group, too. 2. Solution-focused brief therapy does not work effectively on improving the distress index of the pregnant and postpartum women. However, for those in the Counseling Group, the distress index at the first week of giving birth is similar with that of the 6th week, while for those in the Health Education Group, the distress index rises. The contrast indicates that SFBT is able to remain the distress index. Thus, it is recommended that the intervention pattern be developed in hospitals and postpartum care centers, combined with the depression screening of prenatal examination, offering the pregnant and postpartum women the related physical and psychological knowledge. It will help them find the sources of their pressure, set the goal of improvement, and get their own solutions to deal with the feelings and problems.

The objective of this research work is to explore the effects of solution-focused brief therapy on college students with Internet addiction. The qualitative methods are adopted in this work. The targeted subjects are three college students with Internet addiction, with whom five times of counseling meetings and one post-mortem interview were conducted. On basis of the research goal as well as the research problem, the counseling processes and the feedbacks of the interviews are all analyzed and studied. Furthermore, CIAS are tested prior to/after the counseling meetings. Together, the effects of CIAS on college students with Internet addition are in better comprehensions. The outcomes of the research can be identified as follows. 1. After finishing the counseling meetings, all of the three subjects changed their online behaviors, which afterwards resulted in adjustments of their daily lives. 2. Internet addiction is the consequences of the behaviors of the subjects. However, the personal issues of the subjects are the true disturbances to them. After the subjects handled their personal issues, there all occurred positive effects. 3. During the counseling processes, Internet obsessions recurred to two of the subjects. Nevertheless, with reset goal and adjusted actions, the subjects gradually had better control of their online time. 4. Although the CIAS scores of the subjects dropped obviously, however, the subjects are still depicted as prone to Internet addiction. Apparently, the subjects still need continual changes and treatments to refrain from Internet obsessions thoroughly. In conclusion, SFBT has positive effects on counseling college students with Internet addiction. Moreover, if the counselor can help identify the personal issues of the subjects, the subjects may completely recover from Internet addiction. Nonetheless, recurrence is the common circumstance in addictive behaviors. The counselor can aid the clients to conquer the adversities, preventing them from recurrences.

The purpose of this study is to explore the counselors’ experiences in their application of SFBT. Adopting a qualitative research method, the author has done semi-structured in-depth interviews with ten counselors of different years of learning SFBT, and then arranges, generalizes, and analyzes what is acquired. The main results are as follows: I.The reasons why counselors choose to sign in an SFBT training are : (1) that they are influenced by the SFBT theories, (2) that they are curious about the SFBT training, (3) that the sites for training are convenient, (4) that the instructors are appealing, (5) that their personal career development needs this training, (6) that the training agrees with their personality qualities. Their learning methods can be divided into two categories, i.e. seeking assistance from outside and using intrinsic resources. II.The experiences the counselors have mainly concern theory acquisition and practical applications. (1) Theory acquisition includes the following dimensions: (a) What perceptions about SFBT the interviewees develop after they are trained: They perceive that SFBT is capable of bringing their intrinsic functions into full play, helping clients achieve their expected goals, valuing the co-operative relationship between counselors and clients. SFBT, which unfolds its belief and respect toward life, is a dynamic and capacious school in counseling. (b) What feelings about SFBT the interviewees have after they are trained: They realize that SFBT emphasizes cognitive logics, involves delicate content, and that it is practical, positive, and goal-oriented. Therefore, it is a school rich in energy, warmth, and love. (c) How interviewees are influenced by SFBT after they are trained: They improve their ability in positively promoting clients’ self-help and also, with the help of SFBT, learn to have their counseling structured. Hence, they begin to comb through their own life experiences from a positive perspective. (d) What they are confused about when they receive training: What confuse them includes the outlook of SFBT on human nature and changes, use of languages, and interfusion with other theories in counseling. (2) The practical applications include the following dimensions: The arenas, occasions, techniques and methods in practice have been figured out. The interviewees report they encounter puzzles in application techniques, disagreements with supervisors, and communication with professionals in other fields. They also express the lack of resources in the SFBT teaching. They feel worried what would happen if their personal qualities do not match the basic characteristics of SFBT. III.In the process of learning and applying SFBT, cases of conversion happen to counselors, in which they need to attribute the cases and respond to them once they encounter difficulties. The attributions they make are: (1) the special properties or limitations of the theories themselves, (2) the limitations of the interviewees, (3) the differences among environments and professionals, and (4) the limitations of the clients themselves. Moreover, the strategies counselors use in dealing with difficulties include (1) seeking more resources to improve their acquisition of SFBT, (2) repeated practice and exploration of the essence of SFBT, (3) directly expressing their difficulties and seek for dialogues with professionals. IV.Based on the results of this research, five symptoms in learning SFBT become explicit: (1) What features SFBT also confuses learners. (2) The theoretical backgrounds of SFBT need to be replenished. (3) Learners do hold some basic concepts toward the therapeutic and modifying process. (4) Learners’ attributions of difficulties tend to be the type focused on people. (5) Universality exists in the ways learners respond to difficulties. Finally, on the basis of the findings in this study, the author makes suggestions to the professionals, scholars, and learners of SFBT respectively.

The Study of Counselors’ Meta Thinking in the Process of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of the counselors’ meta thinking in the process of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). Three voluntary clients received 1 to 4 sessions of counseling with two SFBT counselors. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with each counselor before and after the counseling session within 24 hours, ten transcripts were obtained, and thematic analysis of hermeneutic phenomenology was used to analyze the data. The main findings were as fellow: the SFBT counselors’ meta thinking reflected the epistemology of SFBT, and ‘de-center and influential’ character, in the three related dimensions of conceptualization, process, and personalization. 1.SFBT counselors’ meta conceptualizations: is based on ‘client is the subject and counselor is de-center’, facilitating goal, energy and change power to make clients becoming their experts. The meta conceptualizations include (1) contents: positive reasoning and human nature belief; (2) methods: exploring and reasoning in the standpoint of ‘people are the subject of problem solving’, and ‘deconstructing of problem’, ‘exploring un-problem’, and ‘guiding clients elaborating and understanding themselves’, ‘let clients have power to interpret themselves’, ‘standpoint of positive believing but not knowing’; (3) goals: making clients become their experts by facilitating ‘the energy of internal locus of control’, ‘positive thinking frame’, and ‘energetic subjectivity’, and constructing clients’ knowledge of self-helping system. 2.SFBT counselors’ meta process: is practicing the goals of conceptualization and making change with cooperation. The meta processes include (1) inviting with respect, trust, and guiding attitude; (2) guiding intentions of ‘empowering’ and ‘creating positive perception experience’; (3) guiding strategies of ‘directing with flexible’ and ‘pacing and changing’; (4) guiding frameworks of ‘pacing, hope, energy and practice’. 3.SFBT counselors’ meta personalizations: is the absorption of SFBT concepts reflecting in the counselors’ role identity, attitude, counseling style, and counseling relationship. The meta personalizations include (1) role identity of accompanying, collation, empowering and positive thing facilitator; (2) ‘not knowing’ attitude of believing, respecting and humble; (3) counseling style of ‘de-center and influential’; (4) counseling relationship of cooperating with inter-subjectivity. Based on these results, discussions and recommendations were proposed for the future research and implications. Keywords: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), counselors, meta thinking

This study was to explore the application of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) on the consultation with a adolescent with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The impact of its executive function is also the focus of the research. The participant, a high-school student with ADHD attended twelve SFBT sessions individually. The qualitative case study method is adopted in the data collection, including the consultation transcripts, post-consultation interviews and feedback questionnaires, the interview data from the parent, the homeroom teacher and the friend, and the researcher’s observation records, all of which are analyzed to understand the inner world of the participant and the psychological experience of coexistence with ADHD, The research results are as follows: The experience of the adolescent with ADHD adolescent under the SFBT consultation: The consultation goals are established based on the observation of the advantages from the close related people. There are three goals. (1) Interpersonal relationship: perceiving the differences between each other and restraining behavior impulses. (2) Self-acceptance: acknowledging impulses and re-examining the experience with ADHD; (3) Career planning: integrating information to make career decisions and enriching himself for career preparation. The consultation process is to build counseling relationship; to expand positive experience ; to experience conversion stage ; to end the consultation. Through the four-stage process, the participant is led to re-examine the positive meanings in the past and start looking forward to future positive outlook. The application of SFBT compared to the core symptoms of ADHD, and executive function: " response question compared to self-control", " generalization & praise compared to self-motivation", " exception questions compared to attention distraction", " re-construction compared to social isolation" " hypothesis questions compared to self-dialogue ", " assessment questions compared to self-reliance", " relationship questions compared to self-guidance", " social skills practices compared to impression control "and " inquiry and metaphor compared to self-supervision " Based on the research findings, implications and suggestions for future practical work and related research are proposed.

This study investigated how the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approach influenced the quality of protection service on survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) by using action research, and tried to elaborate the differences of the service process caused by the changes of service approach. Furthermore, the study explored how SFBT elevate the willingness for accepting service and the motivation to improve the current situation for survivors who were unwilling to accept service previously. Via examining researcher’s personal beliefs, values, attitudes and working approach, the study figured out the possible effects to survivors and professional relationship in order to provide substantial advice to the first line social workers. This study adopted action research as research method and divided the time interval into two phases, which were the pre-action phase and after-action phase. Both qualitative and quantitative method were used in this research to analyze the data from 113 IPV survivors. Data included the case records, research memo and relative documents. The results show that SFBT approach markedly influences researcher process for providing the service to the IPV survivors. In terms of quantitative data, the times of service and time of interview as well as the rate of directly goal discussion in the first month increase. In addition, the rate of professional relationship establishment, goal establishment and the willing of service acceptance are increased, while the time for relationship establishment is reduced. In terms of qualitative data, the interview can be focused more on what the survivors want most. For the clients who already have their goals, by using SFBT approach, researcher can grasp clients’ situation more quickly and easily discuss plans with them to bring safety preservation strategies closer to their needs. The suggestions from this study indicate that practitioners should improve their skills to get closer to IPV survivors by using SFBT approach. Instead of trying to gather information in order to figure out the problems, the first line practitioner could apply SFBT approach to the IPV survivors to improve the willingness for accepting services. Recommends for future research include extend the duration of research to increase the sample number and organizations should provide more flexibility for dual role researchers, who are also social workers, for further deeper research in the field.
