Solutioning

the long version

Based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, the 4-P Solutioning process provides therapists with key methods to end blaming, encourage responsibility, and empower clients to find and use solutions. Solutioning is not an all-encompassing theory that requires a radical change in philosophy, but a language that promotes growth, change, and flexibility. It encourages the practitioner to blend tried-and-true techniques with the solutioning attitude and supplementary interventions, allowing the efficiency necessary for managed care survival. An essential resource for established counselors, pastors, social workers, nurses, psychologists, and mental health professionals, Solutioning is also a useful text for counselor training programs and a powerful reference tool for beginning counselors.
