"This book presents solution-focused principles and methods in a concise, accessible way. The authors invite both therapists and the general public to learn and apply these tools right away – both in therapy and in one’s personal life. The second edition adds important information that will help therapists to become 'solution detectives' in their own practices as well!" - Ellen Quick, PhD, Kaiser Permanente, author of Core Competencies in Solution-Focused and Strategic Therapies"Ideas for working through setbacks and challenges in therapy are explored, focusing on understanding client motivation, obtaining feedback on their perspective of the therapeutic process, and ensuring good quality therapist self-care. It is, perhaps, this reminder to continue to strive for balance in my personal and professional life in a climate of client and societal disquiet that I found most helpful in this highly readable book." - Helen Hardacre, Healthcare Journal
