New Film New Insights

Tools for Success: Solution Focused Brief Therapy Taster is a new 31⁄2 hour DVD offering highlights from a workshop featuring Willie Botterill and Frances Cook as they provide insights into using Solution Focused Brief Therapy with those who stutter.

This taster introduces participants to the principles and practice of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, providing examples of children, parents, and teenagers describing their ‘best hopes’ for the future, using scales to determine the skills and resources they already have to attain that future, and identifying the small signs of change along the way.

“Solution Focused Brief Therapy has given me a great way to find out what my clients have been doing since our last session to move themselves forward. I really like how the questioning leads them to solutions.” said Brian Heskin, who took part in the workshop featured in this new film. He added, “I use the rating scale that clients do by themselves all the time since it seems to give them ownership on what they are or are not doing to move themselves forward. The positive approach fits so well.”
