ABSTRACT
The introduction sets the scene for the book. The six chapters of this book form the six sides of the Solution Cube, a prism with six equal sides. The reality as we co-construct it through the interactions with our clients can be viewed through each side of the prism. Each view offers a different perspective. All six different perspectives help co-create a coherent new reality for our clients.
The overview of the ten SoFAP Essentials that underpin the epistemology of the Solution-Focused Applied Psychology is the book summary. This overview contains a picture of the solution-focused approach as it is painted in broad-brush strokes. The upcoming chapters will detail this picture in the finest possible brush strokes so that the multilayered aesthetic gradually will become visible and show that we go way beyond techniques.
Best practices, case studies, invitations to experiential exercises, the latest research findings, linguistically deconstructing the solution-focused language, examples from all fields in which professional change agents intervene, occasional theoretical insights complemented with practical how-to-do suggestions create a tapestry of many colors.
