This book presents both solution focused and narrative approaches to brief
counseling. Acknowledging the expertise of ordinary people in devising
solutions to their problems, it reflects the current interest in very brief
therapeutic work, which is driven partly by economic considerations and partly
by its non-pathologizing ethos. Stressing the role of meaning-making,
creativity, and imagination, the book provides a comprehensive account of its
subject using extensive case examples to show how solution focused and
narrative counseling can be applied across a variety of life´s problems and
client issues.
