Introduction to Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
In 1982, the collaboration between Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center (BFTC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, became known as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Since then, the model has been included in graduate survey courses, dedicated master�s programs, and taught to professionals in the community. This is your chance to find out more about a model that has been listed as evidence-based by a long-time practitioner, supervisor, and trainer. Joel Simon attended advanced training with the co-developers at BFTC. He has been teaching and practicing solution focus exclusively for the past 30 years. Joel has authored and co-authored 3 books and numerous articles on the subject. This workshop is a chance for those new to solution focus to learn about the model without initially committing to a more extensive training. This is an introductory course. .
