Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The cause-effect model, which is the medical model, is based on the equation diagnosis + prescribed treatment = symptom reduction. However, this model has a major disadvantage: It is problem-focused. When the problem and its possible causes are studied in depth, a vicious circle of ever-growing problems may develop. #2 Solution-focused interviewing was developed in the 1980s by de Shazer, Berg, and their colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee. It focuses on the client being the expert and the client determining his or her own goal and path to reach it. #3 Solution-focused interventions differ from traditional therapy in that they do not focus on adapting the treatment to the client's diagnosis, but on finding out what possibilities for taking a different course of action the client himself or herself reveals. #4 Problem-focused interviewing focuses on the problems, and solution-focused interviewing focuses on the solutions. The latter focuses on the strengths of the client and the assumption that happiness is not the consequence of just the right genes or coincidence, but that it can be found through the identification and use of the strengths that the client already possesses.
