Solution-Focused Brief Therapy worksheets
A future-oriented, strengths-based approach that focuses on what is working.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, takes a deliberately different approach: rather than analyzing problems in detail, the work focuses on what already works, what the client wants instead of the problem, and what small steps will move them in that direction.
