Summary

Solution-focused therapy focuses specifically on what the client wants to improve in their life rather than trying to address the whole of an underlying problem. It takes what might seem like an overwhelming task and reduces it to a specific achievable goal, allowing progress in a short time and allowing the patient to feel in control of their success. This book applies solution focused therapy to anxiety management. It describes how an individual therapist can use this method, including patient exercises and case examples for better understanding of the application. It also provides a four session module for learning the material, whether in a self-learning mode or via a clinician workshop.
