Solution Focused Practice with Families – 5 practice guidelines
How is SFBT different when we are working with a family? 5 guidelines from Evan George
Solution Focused Practice refers to a conversational process for generating positive change. It can be used as therapy, coaching, team building, in fact, in any situation where improvement is being sought. The BRIEF Certificate course will focus primarily on therapy and coaching but will be flexible enough to stretch to other arenas in order to meet course members individual needs.
Solution Focused Practice can be summarised as four questions each of which is the starting point for a series of supplementary questions which, put together, make a Solution Focused conversation.
Each of these questions has an infinite number of variations which together make a new language for therapists and coaches. In that sense the Certificate Course will be like a language course with Foundation Level 1 laying out the basic structure, Level 2 as conversational practice and Level 3 as conversation: fluent enough to be a Solution Focused therapist, counsellor or coach.
Additional Requirements
In order to submit the assignment for the BRIEF Certificate in Solution Focused Practice applicants are also required to attend a SF Practice: Foundation Plus workshop in addition to 6 days of training with BRIEF, normally Levels 1 — 3. The two-day Foundation Plus workshops take place once each academic term.
Case Study assignment
Candidates will need to submit a 2000-2500 description of a first session of Solution Focused work with a client demonstrating competence in the essential skills: defining a desired outcome, describing a preferred future and recognising progress already made.
Prior training with BRIEF.
For those of you who have already completed prior training with BRIEF:
2 days training equates to Level 1
4 days training equates to Levels 1 and 2
6 days training equates to Levels 1 and 2 and 3
8 days training already completed allows you to submit your assignment without further courses or supervision.
