Description
Solution focused therapy - also known as solution -focused brief therapy or brief therapy is an approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving . Although it acknowledges present problems and past causes, it predominantly explores an individual's current resources and future hopes. This can help them to look forward and use their own strengths to achieve their goals. As its name suggests, solution-focused brief therapy is considered a time- limited approach, however, the technique is often incorporated into other long-term therapy types and effects can be long-lasting. The solution-focused approach is a humanistic therapy, which focuses on self - development, growth and responsibility. It is goal-directed and focuses on building solutions, rather than on solving the problems that clients bring to therapy.Rather than dwelling on an individual's weakness and limitations, solution - focused therapy concentrate solely on an individual's strengths and possibilities to help them move forward. It works by helping them overcome problems without tackling them directly- using the solution- building concept to foster change and help individuals to develop a set of clear, concise and realistic goals. It is the role of a solution-focused therapist to help elicit and implement these solutions via a series of discussions. In this discussions, the therapist will help individuals to envisage a clear and detailed picture of how they see their future - and how things will be better once changes are made. They will encourage them to explore past experiences and times when they were as happy as they see themselves in their future vision. These processes aim to evoke a sense of hope and expectation and make a future solution seem possible. It is essentially the future vision that drives the therapy process forward, ensuring that it is directional and, as a result, brief. Therapist can use this future solution to shape the techniques and questions that will comprise discussions. These aim to help individual realize their potential and find the courage to move forward.
