Thinking and Practicing Beyond the Therapy Room: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma, and Child Protection

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), created in the 1980s, evolved out of the longer-standing brief or interactional approach to therapy. Brian Cade, in an introductory chapter of this book, already has summarized this history. Practitioners within this brief therapy tradition have always thought about human problems and their resolution at least somewhat differently to more mainstream therapists.
