Book Description

November 17, 1997 0393702510 978-0393702514 1

A practical guide introducing the solution-focused approach to clinicians working with substance abusers.

Stressing solutions rather than pathology, clients' strengths and their strategies for past successes rather than their weaknesses or problems, this team utilizes a solution-building approach by discovering and exploring the ways substance abusers heal themselves. The book covers solution-focused therapy one step at a time. Bursting with case examples, quick tips, and questions "from the field," this is a reader-friendly manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Useful, August 12, 2006
This review is from: Solutions Step by Step: A Substance Abuse Treatment Manual (Paperback)
This guide offers comprehensive information on the solutions focussed appraoch along with worksheets and practical solution to implementing this appraoch in your practce. Very useful and well written. This approach is well worth taking your time to get to know. Its simple yet profound. Rather than feeding into labels, diagnoses, and weaknesses we develop a strong relationship and build on the individuals strengths and abilities to resolve the problem. I believe this is much more effective than treating the diagnosis rather than the person. Higly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative approach towards substance use counseling/treatment, July 3, 2007
This review is from: Solutions Step by Step: A Substance Abuse Treatment Manual (Paperback)
I've been reading on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for about a year now and I was glad to have come across a manual that specializes in the treatment of substance use on a strengths perspective. I highly recommend this book to those counselors, mental health workers, social workers, etc who want to explore a different perspective other than the problem-oriented stance.
