Solution-focused Brief Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a goal-directed counseling intervention within the broader category of brief psychotherapies that emphasizes identifying and amplifying clients’ existing strengths and resources to construct viable solutions to current problems, distinguishing itself from other individual counseling approaches by its minimal focus on problem analysis and its systematic use of future-oriented, exception-based questioning techniques.
