"Asia is a big continent with many voices; by adding those voices to the international Solution Focused community this book is making a uniquely important contribution to the development of future practice in all its forms." - Chris Iveson, BRIEF London."This book stands out as an exemplar of how Solution-Focused practices can be appropriately adapted and applied to the Asian cultures and situations described. It will stand out as a wonderful text for anyone studying either SF practices in a variety of areas (counselling, schools, management, organizations, coaching) or adaptations of a major approach to particular cultural contexts. It is written in reader-friendly language, easily perused and adapted to one’s own practice." - Thorana S. Nelson, PhD, Professor Emerita, Utah State University
