    INTRODUCTION
    • Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach created in the early 1980s by Steve de Shazer and
    Insoo Kim Berg at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
    • SFBT is centered on future goals and is designed to be brief in duration.
    • The approach highlights the strengths and resilience of individuals rather than dwelling on their problems.
    • It involves focusing on exceptions to problems and actively listening to clients' ideas about potential solutions.
    • Therapists use a series of interventions to encourage clients to amplify behaviors that have previously proven
    effective for them.
    • Motivational interviewing (MI) and solution-focused brief therapy have similarities.
    • When working with different groups, practitioners have the option to merge principles and techniques from
    solution-focused brief therapy and motivational interviewing.
    • Combining these two approaches can enhance the therapeutic process.
    • The integration aims to promote change through collaboration and respect within the therapeutic relationship.
    “FOCUS ON
    SOLUTIONS
    NOT PROBLEMS”
    “Once you know what works, do more of it.” If
    something is not working, clients are encouraged

    to try something different (Guterman, 2013;
    Hoyt, 2011).

    Steps in the
    • Find out what group members want rather than
    Change Process searching for what they do not want.
    • Do not look for pathology.
    • Encourage them to experiment with doing something
    different.
    • Keep therapy brief
    Walter and Peller (1992) describe four steps;
    steps involved based on
    Metcalf’s (1998);

    • Setting the Tone for the Group


    • Beginning to Set Goals
    • Searching for Exceptions to the Problem
    • Encouraging Motivation
    • Assisting Group Members With Task
    Development
    • The Next Group Session
    Creating member goals
    SFBT reflects some basic notions about change, about
    interaction, and about reaching goals. The facilitator believes
    people have the ability to define meaningful personal goals and
    that they are in the best position to choose the goals they want to
    accomplish in the group because they know themselves better
    than anyone else.

    Terminating
    Establishing clear goals from the beginning
    of a group lays the groundwork for effective
    termination (Murphy, 2008).
    APPLICATION:THERAPEUTIC
    TECHNIQUES and Procedures
    Murphy (2008) reminds us that these solution-focused techniques should be
    used flexibly and tailored to the unique circumstances of the members. The
    group counseling process is best guided by the members’ goals, perceptions,
    resources, and feedback.
