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.

tiniest changes in their lives. If you remember, one of the<br />
rules of solution-focused therapy is that change is<br />
inevitable; it's just how much control we have over that<br />
change that matters.<br />
Another common belief, certainly in the family therapy I<br />
have practiced, is that families are like a mobile. <strong>The</strong> tiniest<br />
push on one item shifts everything else in relation to it.<br />
This is why the saying “Well, they all get treated the same”<br />
can't make sense. How can that be? <strong>The</strong> first-born was an<br />
only child and the first grandchild; the later children were<br />
then brought up in a bigger household on a tighter budget,<br />
