Audience Polling Question #1
The word Brief in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is defined
as:
Extratherapeutic Factors 40%
Therapy Relationship Factors 30%
Therapeutic Technique 15%
Expectancy, Hope, Placebo 15%
What Causes Change??
Miller, S. D., Duncan, B. L., & Hubble, M. A. (1997). Escape
from babel. New York, NY: Norton.
87% Client/extra-therapeutic factors 13% Effect of the service
delivered
From 13% effect of the service (appearing as partially
overlapping factors): 1% (8% from 13%) is for the specific
model/technique used. 4% (30%- +) for the Model/Technique delivered
(meaning with the
power of allegiance and placebo added to the specific model).
5-7% (38-54%) for the Therapeutic Alliance 5-9% (46-69%) for
Therapist Effect
Latest on What Causes Change

working for you?
What will be different afterward that will let you know this was
a good choice for you?

you?
Helpful Questions
Any time you are tempted to give concrete resources that arent
urgent

with previous referrals/suggestions
When to Use

Empowers
Helps to determine whats needed (support, meds, therapy)
Working from the Solution-Side
Any time you are stuck
Any time you need direction
Any time you need to increase client hope
When to Use
Do we explore the problem? (i.e., the cause, the outcome of bad
decisions, the whys of bad choices)
Do we explore what is important to the client or what is helping
the client get closer to what he/she wants? (i.e., successes, good
decisions, the whys of good choices)
Verbal Paths
Its a way of working with clients
Specifically helpful when you are becoming overwhelmed and
feeling hopeless about the clients problems
Any time other professionals are becoming negative about the
client
Any time the client is becoming discouraged during a
conversation

Designed around a specific event Working in past-tense Imagine
that it is just past the event Keep the outcome vague Imagine that
you feel proud of how you handled it despite the
outcome
What did you do, what did you say, how did you do it, etc.
Fast Forwarding
Any time a specific event is resulting in stress or a mental
health symptom (or exacerbating it)
Any time client is having a difficult time seeing past the
event
Any time you need to increase client hope that they can get
through an event
When to Use

The 10 equals the desired goal
The 1 must be defined
Scales
Any time clients are thinking black/white Any time clients arent
giving themselves credit
Any time hope is needed
Any time perspective is needed
Any time you need to understand a concept better

shoes
(Increases empathy)
