翻轉關係互動、教出正向行為: 焦點解決短期取向

2021-03-11

Last Saturday I gave a speech regarding Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)at the clinic. Social workers,families,teachers and master students were present on that day.

SFBT is used to treat people of all ages with a variety of issues (behavioral problems,depression,relationship difficulties,anger management...)and focuses on a people's present and future situation/goals.

Techniques used in SFBT include asking questions and scaling questions from 1-10 to assess present circumstances & progress,or how one is viewed by others. The intention is to guide & direct the client towards an optimistic change to attain maximum positive well being. Art therapy is also used,requesting the client to draw about their family & life.

For example,teachers send problematic students to my office. I ask them many questions,focusing on solutions and based on a scaling system,we will try to work together to improve & attain a better scaling point so that the students can achieve maximum well being. Another powerful task is asking students to draw about their family & life. Through this art therapy,it's easier to understand students'inner feelings. This can then be communicated to their parents about their children's problems or state of mind to help them understand their children's mental situation better.
