Solution-focused Groupwork: Second Edition

Examines the therapeutic factors that characterize solution- focused groupwork and contribute to its effectiveness. This work also includes: creative exercises for use in practice; guidance on evaluating the outcomes of group work; and shows practitioners how to create and maintain a constructive and solution-focused group culture. This second edition contains much new material including the uses of 'problem talk', an activity normally avoided by solution-focused therapists. Preparation for groups, client motivation and collaboration are all explored.
