Born out of the Second Annual Conference on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, this comprehensive edited collection, offers mental health practitioners a much needed resource for applying solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) techniques. Twenty-eight experts present the most current research information, illustrative case examples, and practical tools for developing the skills necessary to deliver effective solution-focused therapy in a variety of treatment settings.

The book offers a framework for integrating the solution-focused model with a problem-focused approach that results in an increased number of therapeutic options available to clinicians.
