5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, easy to read, October 28, 2001
There are many books about using a solution-focused approach for school counselors. Kottler used many practical examples to demonstrate how to focus on solutions, setting different types of goals when working with students. For examples, when using the miracle question, Kottler classified three types of miracle questions and gave clear examples how such miracle questions could be used.

I like this book because it is easy to understand and easy to read. It helps me a lot when working with adolescents and students by remembering Kottler's some examples.
