Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Clients Managing Trauma

"Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Clients Managing Trauma is a tour de force . . . The chapters, covering everything from warfare to domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse to drug addiction and so much more, are packed with rigorous research from within and well beyond the Solution-Focused field. Microanalysis and neuroscience provide convincing evidence of the processes by which Solution-Focused conversations are able to create new pathways into a client's future; research on hope and resilience buttress the clinical focus on strengths and possibility while the whole book is located within the wider ambit of trauma theories and research." -Chris Iveson, BSc, Co-founder, BRIEF
