Becoming a Solution Detective is a practical, how-to guide for therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and other professionals who are interested in making their practice solution-focused-quickly and effectively. The authors, co-founders of the Brief Therapy Group in Dublin, Ireland, demystify the process of psychotherapy, making the concept of solution-based therapy accessible and relevant through case examples, practice exercises, and role-plays. The book's hands-on approach allows practitioners to adopt the authors' simple, self-teaching style and apply it to their work with clients. Becoming a Solution Detective includes practical information on the differences between the solution-based approach and traditional therapy; establishing a successful therapeutic alliance with clients; determining detailed, meaningful goals for the client; mapping the client's journey to a solution; possible "dead ends" in applying this type of therapy; and much more.
