Solution Focused Practice

Solution Focused practice has its roots in the therapeutic approach devised by Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer at BFTC Milwaukee and others. The approach values simplicity in philosophy and language and aims to discover "what works" in a given situation, simply and practically. The focus on solutions (not problems), the future (not the past) and on what's going well (rather than what's gone wrong) leads to a positive and pragmatic way to work with organisations and individuals.

The latest summary of peer-reviewed research of SF practice can be found at www.solutionsdoc.co.uk/sfb.html.
