About the Course

This book is a practical, how-to guide for therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and other professionals who are interested in making their practice solution-focused — quickly and effectively. The authors, co-founders of the Brief Therapy Group in Dublin, Ireland, demystify the process of psychotherapy, making the concept of solution-based therapy accessible and relevant through case examples, practice exercises, and role-plays. The book’s hands-on approach allows practitioners to adopt the authors’ simple, self-teaching style and apply it to their work with clients.

This course is based on the book, Becoming a Solution Detective: Identifying Your Clients’ Strengths in Practical Brief Therapy created by John sharry, Psy.D., Brendan Madden, MA., & Melissa Darmody, Psy.D.
