This book by O'Hanlon is not just an excellent illustration of his solution focused approach, it is also a pleasure to read.
The three parts touch on change (the doing and the viewing of the problem) and application. What makes this a good read from a clinician's point of view is the following presupposition in the book: people can change, and they can do it practically and effectively, by changing what is under their control in their experience of the problem. This also makes it a safe approach to use on oneself, or even discuss with friends.
"Pleasure to read?" Reading O'Hanlon is like accepting an invitation on a journey with him. In a respectful way he introduces people as examples or demonstrations of the principles he offers. In his narratives there also lies the convincer of the techniques he offers.
I don't know whether it was intended for a broad audience, but my sense is that many will find benefit from reading and journeying with O'Hanlon
