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.

How can you possibly help people who have spent<br />

years in therapy in so short a time?<br />

It’s not exclusive but it has happened. <strong>The</strong> simple answer is<br />

by doing something different and by being willing to get on<br />

the client’s bus without trying to drive it.<br />

What do you do with a family that has no positives to<br />

work with?<br />

That is not possible. In fact the more extreme the problem<br />

then the more positives there will be. I am sure people<br />

remember the advert for the police force where famous<br />

achievers sit in a chair and say;<br />

“I just couldn’t do that.”<br />

That’s what its like for the therapist who may be asked for<br />

help from a person who is able to bring up a family of six<br />

on benefits with an alcoholic husband and the threat of<br />

eviction and says she cannot cope.<br />

I couldn’t do that, how have you? We have to be inquisitive<br />

and find the person’s strengths and talents that they didn’t<br />

recognise were there.
