ABSTRACT
This preliminary paper addresses how therapists, students, and professionals go about the business of learning to accept the concepts and philosophy of becoming brief, solution-focused therapists. What is it that “clicks” for them to make that paradigmatic shift? This paper is a beginning exploration to this overarching question as we research therapists’ experiences in moving from one model of therapy into the solution-focused approach. We incorporate an open dialogue between ourselves as we begin the process of exploring how individuals become solution-focused therapists. This paper is offered as a starting point. We hope to continue to collect data from a wide variety of individuals as they reflect on their personal journeys in becoming brief, solution-focused therapists.
