The most current trends in solution-focused counseling theory,
research, and practice are explored in the latest edition of this
updated and expanded text. Dr. Guterman provides a comprehensive
and straightforward discussion of solution-focused theory and the
stages of the model throughout the therapeutic process. By
emphasizing solutions rather than problems, this approach helps
clients to identify and harness their natural resources, strengths, and
skills to promote positive change.
Clinical applications, techniques, and detailed case studies
illustrate counseling with clients experiencing a range of problems,
including depression, substance abuse, grief, morbid jealousy, and
trichotillomania. New chapters and sections in this edition address
anxiety, eating disorders, suicide, psychotic disorders, migraine
headache, self-injurious behavior, and spiritual and religious issues.
The final chapter titled ''The Future of Solution-Focused Counseling''
considers new directions for the model as well as developments in
research, clinical settings, and technology.
