Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is becoming increasingly popular, especially as insurance companies place more and more restrictions and limitations on mental health treatment coverage. SFBT can also be an incredibly effective approach for work with families, especially since at the root of most family system dysfunction is a negative dynamic – or a “problem” that we can troubleshoot for a targeted solution to change the way the family system operates.
Please join us for a learning experience that will inform you how solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) can be used to effectively support and treat families. Discover this effective modality to move families out of problem focused, conflicted dynamics and into a future place when past conflict no longer impacts their daily lives. Learn specific and intentional interventions to deal with negative communication patterns. Discover the most effective way to use scaling, specifically to assess each member’s perspective on the family communication to move them into positive, solution focused interactions and healing.
In addition to the below Objectives, this course will also touch on the following:
- Describe the brief history of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
- Name the eight principles of SFBT.
- Describe the three-part SFBT skeleton.
- Identify which interventions and questions fit in the three parts of the skeleton.
- Learn and practice the nuances of language needed to effectively use SFBT with families.
- Name two ways that scaling and the use of visuals such as flip charts provide concrete interventions in family sessions.
- Identify two ways that working with a color-coded scaling system is beneficial to track progress when using SFBT with families.
- Define and describe “The trifecta” and resources that are specific to the importance of it in SFBT family treatment.
