Also known as solution-focused therapy is an approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving.
Although it acknowledges present problems and past causes, it predominantly explores an individual's current resources and future hopes -helping them to look forward and use their own strengths to achieve their goals. As its name suggests, solution-focused brief therapy is considered a time-limited approach, however the technique is often incorporated into other long-term therapy types and effects can be long-lasting.
Benefits
Due to the brief nature of the approach, solution-focused therapy can be particularly beneficial to those who lead fast-paced, modern lifestyles. On average, about five sessions of solution-focused therapy are needed and these typically last for around 45 minutes each. The therapy rarely extends beyond eight sessions, however further sessions and other integrated techniques can be introduced if necessary.
