1001 Solution-Focused Questions: Handbook for Solution-Focused Interviewing (A Norton Professional Book)

An invaluable resource for conducting successful solution-focused therapy.

Drawing on nearly 30 years of clinical practice, Bannink compiles solution-focused questions and protocols that are formulated to elicit the client€s expertise on the issue(s) that brought him or her to therapy. Categorized for general use and for use with specific types of clients€•such as children, couples, and families, and those who have suffered trauma or who might benefit from medication€•the questions demonstrate how the precise use of language is an important tool in solution-focused interviewing. Exercises and homework suggestions invite self-reflection and experimentation with the solution-focused model, while case studies illustrate the model€s effectiveness with a wide variety of clients. 1001 Solution-Focused Questions equips clinicians with a toolbox full of ready-to-use approaches, so they€re prepared to provide support as clients find their own way to a better future.
