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.

Intervention Break and Task Setting<br />

<strong>The</strong> intervention break is where both the therapist and<br />

client take a break to think about and review the situation.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no set time for this, but it tends to come at a<br />

natural part of the family discussion. Now, there have been<br />
