Unhelpful ideas.
Evan George lists twenty-five ideas about clients and therapy that make good outcomes less likely and yet seem to be characteristic of the way that many workers seem to describe their work.
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
Supervision
Candidates for the Certificate will need to attend six hours of supervision and for this purpose BRIEF has organised a series of one-and-a-half hour supervision groups.
Case Study
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.
