This book presents both solution focused and narrative approaches to brief counseling. Acknowledging the expertise of ordinary people in devising solutions to their problems, it reflects the current interest in very brief therapeutic work, which is driven partly by economic considerations and partly by its non-pathologizing ethos. Stressing the role of meaning-making, creativity, and imagination, the book provides a comprehensive account of its subject using extensive case examples to show how solution focused and narrative counseling can be applied across a variety of life's problems and client issues.
