ABSTRACT

My work as a group therapist and trainer has brought many questions about creating useful contexts for cooperation during group work. Therapy is a very talkative job to do, and during workgroups (especially longer ones) with clients or trainees, it is easy to observe signs of being tired by sitting, listening, and talking. I was thinking about different ways to respond and manage such situations as a trainer. Of course, we can still ask people what and how they want to act. Sometimes, however, it is more useful to have some propositions about connecting conversation with other activities. The concept of creating solution-focused games came through such experience.
