The Solution Focused Brief Therapy Diamond

This book turns the psychotherapy field upside down, refuting some of the major beliefs of traditional therapeutic approaches. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) was created in the 1980s and has continued to evolve. This evolution has created some arguments and debates within the field about the 'right' way to practice SFBT. The Diamond Approach to SFBT was created by Elliott Connie and Adam Froerer and is a unifying approach to SFBT, focusing on the similarities of practice among practitioners. This book: · Includes a history of SFBT and explains how the practice arrived at the point of needing The Diamond Approach. · Explains and outlines the stance clinicians must hold about their clients in order to be able to do this life-changing work. · Provides a thorough overview of The Diamond Approach with practical tips to be successful. · Includes a glossary and additional resources. This book outlines a decade's worth of research and practice and is the most current iteration of SFBT.
