About this listen

 A guide for clinicians (both beginner or seasoned professional) to understand the philosophy and practical steps of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to maximize their effectiveness with any client, written by two respected and innovative experts in the field.

Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the client’s hoped-for future instead of their ongoing problems. Elliott E. Connie and Adam S. Froerer are the founders of The Solution Focused Universe and are two of the most respected and innovative experts in their field. Together, they have developed the Diamond model—a framework of SFBT skills and tools designed to guide a clinician through each session of therapy—which is one of the biggest innovations in the field of solution focused brief therapy.

This is a practical guide for any clinician (beginner or seasoned professional) to understand the philosophy and practical steps of conducting an SFBT session. Among the topics discussed:

  • How to presuppose the best in your client
  • How to trust your client’s capability
  • The stance clinicians should adopt to be effective solution focused practitioners
  • The art of asking meaningful questions
  • The importance of autonomy

This audiobook also includes tools to help practitioners implement this approach, including a complete SFBT session with editorial comments that illustrate the thinking that goes into constructing a session, as well as 101 solution focused questions that practitioners can use.

Connie and Froerer see their Diamond model as life-changing for all parties involved. They write, “This work is transformative not only for clients but also for you. When you view your clients as capable and strong, it changes you—and how you do your job. Your perceptions directly impact your actions.” This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download. Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

I don’t often binge listen to audiobooks but found I was really immersed in this one and listened to it hours on end. It was simple, easy to follow (not full of repetitive content nor jargon) and i managed to learn such great insights that i believe would be so helpful for both experienced and beginner therapists… highly recommend.

I generally like author narration, but in this case it was quite clunky. Content is sound though, and I appreciate the effort.

Good, but
