About the Workshop
This is a workshop for those who are currently practicing solution-focused brief therapy, who want to hone their skills, explore the philosophical underpinnings of solution-focused practice, and have an opportunity to present and consult on cases. In keeping with solution-focused principles, the days agenda will be developed conjointly with the participants. Possible topics include (but not exclusive of) solution-focused as a social constructive activity, keeping it brief, strategies for when the client doesn't follow the script, making sense of numbers (scaling), the Miracle Question as a compass, taking the break, specific applications (e.g. bereavement work, substance misuse treatment, long-term users of mental health systems, family work, and work with children). Participants are encouraged to provide video examples of their practice. This will be a day full of experiential activities, active discussion, and just plain having fun playing with solution-focus ideas.
