Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-focused therapeutic approach developed in the late 1970s by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. Rather than analyzing problems or their origins, SFBT centers on building solutions and harnessing clients’ strengths to create positive change.
How This Therapy Works
SFBT sessions focus on identifying what is already working in a client’s life and envisioning a preferred future. Therapists use techniques like the “miracle question,” scaling questions, and exception-seeking to help clients set clear, realistic goals and recognize their own resources. The therapist acts as a facilitator, guiding conversations toward solutions and small, achievable steps, rather than dwelling on problems or the past.
Is It Right for Me?
SFBT is suitable for individuals seeking practical, future-oriented change in a short period. It works well for those motivated to set and achieve goals, and for anyone who prefers focusing on strengths and solutions rather than in-depth problem analysis. This approach is effective across a wide range of issues and is adaptable for most people.
