  • solution focused Brief Therapy for individuals with alcohol use disorders in chile
    Research on Social Work Practice, 2019
    Co-Authors: Karla Gonzalez Suitt, Pablo Geraldo, Marlene Estay, Cynthia Franklin
    Abstract:

    Purpose:This article presents a pilot study exploring the applicability of a linguistically adapted, solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) program, implemented by social workers in Chilean primary care.Method:We completed a single-case design with eight replications. To analyze the results of the program on participants’ alcohol use and other related variables, we conducted visual and percentage of nonoverlapping data analyses.Results:Social workers successfully implemented 10 of the 13 SFBT techniques. Although results need to be interpreted with caution, positive trends were observed. Participants increased their “percentage of days abstinent,” diminished “consequences of alcohol use,” decreased their “depression index,” and increased their “self-reported well-being.”Discussion:Results are consistent with previous studies on SFBT and alcohol use. Exception and coping questions may serve to increase abstinent days. SFBT focus on issues other than alcohol that are important to clients could help to reduce...

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Schools
    Oxford Scholarship Online, 2017
    Co-Authors: Michael Kelly, Cynthia Franklin
    Abstract:

    Teachers, administrators, and students face many challenges in schools, yet schools are also places of solutions, strengths, and successes. The second edition of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Schools offers a practical guide that shows school social workers how to harness the solutions that are already happening in their schools by applying the principles of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). With its emphasis on strengths and short-term treatment, SFBT is a potentially powerful tool for school professionals to add to their repertoires. A solution-focused school social worker can help students, particularly those who are harder to engage, think about ways to focus on what’s working and how they can change their lives in positive ways. This second edition is part of the School Social Work Association of America Oxford Workshop Series and has been updated with new research and clinical practice information. New to this edition is a more thorough example of how to use SFBT within the Response-to-Intervention (RtI) framework with case examples demonstrating innovate ways. It also includes five new clinical chapters called “SFBT in Action.” These new chapters cover five of the most common student problems school social workers encounter in their jobs. Each of these new chapters provides an overview of the particular problem both nationally and in school settings and describe risk and protective factors. Along with a discussion on why SFBT is a useful approach for that particular problem, case examples are also provided illustrating how to use many of the specific solution-focused techniques for them.

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Schools - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Schools
    Encyclopedia of Social Work, 2015
    Co-Authors: Cynthia Franklin, Constanta Belciug
    Abstract:

    One of the most promising areas of intervention for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is with children, adolescents, and teachers in school settings. SFBT was applied in schools during the beginning of the 1990s and since that time the use of SFBT in schools has grown across disciplines with reports of SFBT interventions and programs implemented in schools in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, South Africa, and in the provinces of Mainland China and Taiwan. The Brief and flexible nature of SFBT, and its applicability to work with diverse problems, make SFBT a practical intervention approach for social workers to use in schools. SFBT has been used in schools with student behavioral and emotional issues, academic problems, social skills, and dropout prevention. SFBT addresses the pressing needs of public school students that struggle with poverty, substance use, bullying, and teen pregnancy. It can be applied in group sessions, as well as individual ones, and in teacher consultations. There is also increasing empirical support that validates its use with students and teachers. SFBT has been applied to improve academic achievement, truancy, classroom disruptions, and substance use. The history and development of SFBT in schools, basic tenets of SFBT, the techniques that are used to help people change, and the current research are covered along with the implications for the practice of social work.

  • Changing the subject: Self-construction in Brief Therapy.
    Institutional selves: Troubled identities in a postmodern world., 2001
    Co-Authors: Gale Miller
    Abstract:

    Discusses how the practice of 'Brief Therapy' at a US clinical facility changed from an ecosystemic to a solution-focused approach and led to an altered way of conceptualizing selves in clients. Where clients once were envisioned as parts of systemic problems, they came to be seen as active agents involved in, and capable of, providing their own solutions.

  • Becoming Miracle Workers: Language and Meaning in Brief Therapy
    1997
    Co-Authors: Gale Miller
    Abstract:

    Brief Therapy is a postmodern treatment mode that treats problems as social constructions, encouraging those seeking treatment to replace personal troubles (negative stories) with new problem-solving skills (positive stories). The significant differences discussed in this book do not involve sociologists and Brief therapists. The differences are between Brief therapists, on the one hand, and practitioners of psychoTherapy and family Therapy on the other. One indicator of these is Brief therapists' describing the people who seek their services as clients. The terminology may be contrasted with the language of patients used by many other therapists. At the very least, this difference suggests how Brief Therapy departs from Therapy approaches that are based on the medical model. Becoming Miracle Workers takes the reader inside "Northland Clinic," one of the most innovative and important centers of Brief Therapy in the world. Based on twelve years of research, Miller's book discusses how Brief Therapy has evolved into its present, postmodern form. He describes the details of Brief therapist-client interactions, and the behind-the-scenes discussions among Brief therapists about their clients' problems. This readable account of the workings of Brief Therapy invites readers to sit in on Brief Therapy sessions, provides them with new understandings of personal troubles as social constructions, and shows how Brief therapists help their clients develop new, untroubled, life stories.

  • SYSTEMS AND SOLUTIONS: THE DISCOURSES OF Brief Therapy

  • Systems and solutions: The discourses of Brief Therapy.
    Contemporary Family Therapy: An International Journal, 1997
    Co-Authors: Gale Miller
    Abstract:

    Describes how Brief Therapy has evolved in the past 10 to 15 yrs from ecosystemic to solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). SFBT is characterized as a radically constructivist approach to personal problems which emphasizes how troubles and solutions are socially constructed realities. The major differences between ecosystemic and SFBT are discussed. In addition, 3 questions about ecosystemic and solution-focused Therapy are discussed in order to contrast the approaches with Brief Therapy. The questions ask whether clients' problems and their systemic contexts are objectively real conditions, or are they linguistic constructions which clients affirm by interpreting their lives as saturated with troubles; how are therapist, client, and team member roles and orientations organized within these discourses, and whether they involve distinctive orientations to time.

    Co-Authors: W.j. Gingerich, Geert Jan J. M. Stams, Alasdair J. Macdonald
    Abstract:

    This chapter reviews the development of SFBT outcome research chronologically, beginning with the first compilation of outcome studies by the European Brief Therapy Association (EBTA) described by Macdonald. It then discusses the first systematic review of controlled SFBT outcome studies published by Gingerich and Eisengart, followed by the meta-analytic reviews of Stams et al. and Kim. Finally, it reviews several important studies that have appeared since the meta-analyses and concludes with a summary of SFBT outcome research to date.

  • Solution-focused Brief Therapy
    Advances in Psychiatric Treatment, 2002
    Co-Authors: Alasdair J. Macdonald
    Abstract:

    I was interested to read the paper on solution-focused Brief Therapy by Iveson (2002), and the commentary by Gopfert (2002). Solution-focused Brief Therapy is a valuable treatment approach within psychiatry, although the outcome research shows that other approaches are needed for some patients. G

  • Brief Therapy in Adult Psychiatry – Further Outcomes
    Journal of Family Therapy, 1997
    Co-Authors: Alasdair J. Macdonald
    Abstract:

    A report of a one-year follow-up of thirty-six referrals treated with solution-focused Brief Therapy by a supervised team in a mental health setting is described. A good outcome was reported for twenty-three cases (64%). These results are comparable with our previous work and with one other statistically validated outcome study on solution-focused Therapy.

  • Brief Therapy in adult psychiatry
    Journal of Family Therapy, 1994
    Co-Authors: Alasdair J. Macdonald
    Abstract:

    Forty-one of forty-four referrals to a multidisciplinary team providing Brief Therapy in adult psychiatry were followed up after one year. Questionnaires were sent to attenders and their general practitioners. A good outcome was reported in 29 cases (70%) while four cases (10%) were worse. Good outcome was linked with more Therapy sessions and having specific goals for treatment. Lower social class did not predict poor outcome, unlike other forms of psychoTherapy. Benefit was not linked to age, sex, place of residence, duration of problem, source of referral, those attending, inpatient status or lapse from treatment. Longstanding problems did slightly less well. The ‘worse’ group were younger and all four were female. Training of the team took place during Therapy at little extra cost without any detriment to outcome. These findings have implications for the team's approach and for the provision of psychoTherapy services in general.

  • Is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Evidence-Based?
    Families in society-The journal of contemporary social services, 2010
    Co-Authors: Sara A. Smock, Eric E Mccollum, Terry S Trepper, Cynthia Franklin
    Abstract:

    This article describes the process of having solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) be evaluated by various federal registries as an evidence-based practice (EBP) intervention. The authors submitted SFBT for evaluation for inclusion on three national EBP registry lists in the United States: the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), What Works Clearinghouse (WWC), and Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Results of our submission found SFBT was not reviewed by SAMHSA and WWC because it was not prioritized highly enough for review, but it was rated as “promising” by OJJDP. Implications for practitioners and recommendations regarding the status of SFBT as an EBP model are discussed.
