Reviews

'A thoroughly enjoyable read about an inspiring approach to facilitating others without pathologising them, this book not only offers practical guidelines for beginners and validating supportive ideas for the more experienced, it could also inspire those who are simply interested in efficient and effective ways of empowering people via reminders of their potential to live zestful, creative, fruitful, connected lives' - Nurturing Potential 'This Second Edition of Solution-Focused Therapy is a readable, open-minded overview of solution-focused therapy, which is ideal for beginners and students. While it is aimed and counsellors and therapists, it is also designed for use by other disciplines. This edition contains new sections on solution-focused supervision and reflecting teams for supervision and organizational work. Practice points to the end of each chapter. Solution-Focused Therapy is a comfortable introduction to SFT, which is best suited for students or those new to the model, or to professionals in other fields. It supports the novice practitioner in feeling that providing good therapy is within their grasp. Bill O'Connell's presentation of solution-focused therapy encourages theoretical integration, practicality, and trust in the abilities of the client over purity. Hopefully, such an approach would appeal to all therapists' - The Brief Therapy Networks
