Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a future-oriented, goal-directed approach to solving human problems of living.

The focus is on the client’s health rather than the problem, on strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, and on skills, resources and coping abilities that would help in reaching future goals.

Clients describe what they wanted to happen in their lives (solutions), and how they will use personal resources to solve their problems. Clients are encouraged to believe that positive changes are always possible, and are encouraged to increase the frequency of current useful behaviors.
