Problem talk creates problems; solution talk creates solutions.

Steve de Shazer
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients to change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. In the most basic sense, SFBT is a hope-friendly, positive emotion-eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.

Method

The solution-focused coaching model, or SFCM, is a type of coaching that focuses on solutions and setting goals. It encourages clients to bring their strengths and successes to the forefront, to move them toward the intended outcome.

A major component of Solution Focused Coaching involves encouraging clients to identify the desired outcome or future state that they would like to achieve. This future-oriented perspective is then used as a guide for creating specific action steps necessary for achieving the desired results. SFC also focuses on solutions, and encouraging problem-solving rather than ruminating about dysfunctional behavior patterns.

The purest form of madness is to leave everything as it is and still hope that something will change.
