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.

conflict in the house, the daughter would scream and shout<br />
and stamp, even though she was in her teens; this<br />
increased the mum’s stress levels, and the situation<br />
constantly got out of hand. Both the daughter and the<br />
mother were informed that the task was, that for the<br />
coming week, mother was to arm herself with a small water<br />
pistol; she was to carry it with her at all times. In the event<br />
of a tantrum, then mum was to squirt it at her daughter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family returned the following week to say that things<br />
