Solution Focused Therapy: Building on What Works to Create Change and Get Results (HS - BERNSTEIN - 54375)

Course overview

Pain brings a client to therapy. Hope keeps them coming back. But that hope can be lost when sessions are focused primarily on problems and pathology, leaving clients (and therapists) overwhelmed and discouraged. Solution-Focused Therapy changes that dynamic by giving you the tools you need to show your clients that solutions are possible ... and they don't need to wait very long to see meaningful results! Designed to complement any theoretical framework, Solution-Focused Therapy engages and activates clients to make change, whether they are new to therapy or have found themselves "stuck" in the therapeutic process. Unlike traditional problem-driven approaches, Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients recognize their internal resources, identify personal strengths and build on what is already working for them. Packed with case examples, video and film demonstrations, discussion and practice, this workshop is engaging, informative and immediately useful to clinicians at any training level. In this recording, you'll learn practical, innovative ways to: Quickly engage and activate clients in their treatment Retain clients who might otherwise drop out of therapy Improve clinical outcomes for even the most "stuck" clients Use between-session assignments to enhance the work you're already doing Empower clients to continue to make progress once therapy ends
