Whoever wants therapy or counseling in the short term to achieve lasting change, should focus on the solution before the problem. The focus on the solution, according to Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, provides the methodological tools for many different application fields of psychotherapy, from coaching and mediation to consulting and executive education.
Insa Sparrer transmitted, in this introduction, in a clear and practice way, the fundamental principles of solution-focused approach in cases illustrative and realistic.
Through linking the solution-focused approach to systemic structural constellations, the author extends the method originally verbal approach "transverbal". Transverbals methods offer new access to implicit knowledge that can be exploited in the search for solutions.
