Hi Elta Sorry - I neglected to come back to this. We have used SF reflecting teams in our supervision (well, peer supervision or intervision) for about 15 years now and it doesn't get stale or fail to provoke useful and interesting stuff for the pre…

Hi Jenny, Sorry about the link - I am still learning how to use social networking. Thank you for asking the question - it brings clarity. I am wishing for us to reflect on the questions. How do we see CPD? What works for other supervision groups? Wh…

Hi Elta I found only empty space on your forum-link (perhaps because I'm not a member) and so I'm not sure what your Q is. What are you stuck or have doubts about? Or do you want us to answer the Qs that keep you awake at night? Or is it a wider Q a…

Hi Coert, Thanks for the reminder - and I immediately went to my bookshelf to get my copy the book - need to reread a number of books, but I'll be going to the explanations first.

What is your connection to Solution Focused Work (based on Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer at BFTC Milwaukee and others)?
I am a coach and mentor in provate pratice --doing Solution Focused work.
I founded PROFACT in 1979 when I first began to consult to organasations in the Pretoria Region as a Certified Organisational Transactional Analyst (ITAA). Supervising Social Workers involved in various community development projects (think Sharpeville) I started looking for a novel approach to bring about change in a quick and lasting way - call it a miracle.

My love for being involved in corporate work took me from Namibia to Madagascar, Middelburg to Malawi, from Nelspruit to New Zealand. And still that elusive miracle - well... it seemed elusive.

I began with post graduate studies. I kept going… when I came across the concept of Solution-Focused practices I knew that I found a body of knowledge that answered my search!

What I am most proudest of / grateful for??? I completed the first transdisciplinary PhD on SF Practices by making full use of an “email” Supervising Committee and Solution-List-serve discussion forums... i.e. as far as I could establish. (2003-4)

My current research investigates the impact of change on work-life integration in the South African context – with specific reference to SF in Emotional, Physical and Spiritual Intelligences.

You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?
You prefer a "step by step" introduction instead to start with reading some
voluminous books?
You would appreciate to have a compete "helicopter view" on SF after the first step already?
