In June 2014, in Amsterdam, in a conference entitled “Just suppose…”
I gave a keynote presentation on the principles of solution-focused therapy.
I proposed that successful solution-focused therapy is made up
of following four ingredients or elements:
hope, collaboration, pride and creativity.
I then shared some simple methods for making all those four elements happen.
The list of methods is not meant to be exhaustive.
It is simply made to be illustrative.
There are many more ways of making those four ingredients happen.
Instill hope
Promote feelings of pride
Build collaboration
Inspire clients’ creativity
