Ms. Metcalf's strategies for applying solution-focused approaches with students, faculty,parents and administrators create a powerful vision for changing the fabric of school culture through utilizing the strengths and successes already present and happening every day in every school. I found this book a refreshing and thought provoking alternative to hiring expensive consultants to fix our schools. Second - order change at its best!

Fast shipping...excellent condition! If you are a counselor or educator this book is wonderful. I love it!

Yet again Dr. Metcalf has provided an easy to apply format for use with clients of all types. Her techniques are adaptable to virtually any situation a client presents with. Metcalf's renown as one of the top SFT practitioners and educators is well supported by the wonderful books she writes. It is a privilege to have learned from her both at the Master's level and as an inspiration through Doctoral work.

I received the book just days after ordering at a great price. It was in excellent condition (as advertised) and was shipped in packaging to keep it that way. Really impressed.

Linda Metcalf's book is filled with approaches that work. Her years of experience in working with solution focused therapy has provided her with skill in using these tools with many populations. I have used her techniques in overcoming resistance and 'they work'. If you are looking for counseling strategies that work in terms of moving past resistance, this is the book for you. The material is especially useful for adolescents, yet has applications for other populations as well. Besides providing interventions that work, her approach also instills a sense of 'hope' which is critical in working with teens.

This book is a practical resource for School Counselors. It presents the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, along with providing forms that can be reproduced to integrate into your school counseling programs. Some parts are a bit repetitive, but it's an easy read that has real applications for School Counselors. Very handy!
