ABSTRACT

Harnessing the strength-oriented foundations of this approach, this chapter identifies how to set children up for success by starting the solution-building process before you meet clients. The author begins by discussing how to market yourself as a solution-focused practitioner. Next, a framework for facilitating initial phone calls and Caregiver Consultations is presented. Practitioners then dive into solution-focused play therapy treatment planning, including how to set clinical goals for children with matching objectives and strength-based interventions. This chapter covers a range of processes that can promote positive outcomes for children from the outset.
