Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

`A highly readable book and its greatest strength is that it provides practical examples of how the techniques work, using real-life case studies. In fact, appendix one is entirely devoted to this. An excellent introduction to a highly effective counselling approach' - Nurturing Potential

This book offers school counsellors an effective and efficient approach to helping students through the use of Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC).

The author presents a focused, step-by-step approach to counselling in schools that leads to rapid, observable change in students. The skills of conducting solution-talk discussions with students can help to reduce arguments, improve relationships, and teach young people to assume responsibility and make better decisions in a supportive environment.

This new approach, as the name implies, focuses on solutions rather than problems. Students learn how to set goals, rediscover their resources, and repeat past successes.

This concise resource contains many tools and resources including:

} reproducible materials for use with Solution-Focused Guided Imagery

} short case studies and session transcripts to illustrate what SFBC looks like in practice

} guidelines for using solution-focused methods with referred discipline cases

} practice exercises to help readers apply the techniques

} sample forms to use in SFBC

An essential tool for school counsellors and a helpful resource for teachers and school administrators who also are involved in counselling primary and secondary students. This resource can also be used by psychologists, counsellors, and social workers who work with youth both in and out of the school setting.
