The Brief Therapy Toolkit Ebook V9
Welcome to the "Brief Therapy Toolkit" eBook. This book is crafted as a concise reference guide, complementing my training course under the same title. My goal is to distill the powerful principles of solution-focused brief therapy and tailor them specifically for you, the youth worker. By deconstructing the methodology, we aim to reconstruct it in a manner that transitions seamlessly from the therapy room to your youth club, school, or children's home. As a youth worker, you are often the first point of contact in times of crisis. Armed with these tools, you will gain confidence in your approach and be better equipped to make a difference.

influenced by the Mental Research Institute approach. In<br />
essence, this model would involve enquiry into the client's<br />
current handling of their situation and guidance towards<br />
‘doing something different’.<br />
De Shazer’s team soon noticed that there were occasions<br />
when there were exceptions to the problem, and these<br />
