Principles of Solution Focus Therapy

1. You don’t have to understand the cause of a problem to solve it. 

2. Focusing on the future creates more useful energy that focusing on the Past

3. Clients have skills, strengths, and resources they have used before and can use again. 

4. Small Steps lead to big changes

5. Differences make the difference

Problem Talk  Solution Focus

1. What’s the biggest issue here? 

2. What’s the root cause of the issue? 

3. What’s keeping you stuck? 

4. What causes you to keep repeating the same behavior? 

5. Why do we still have these problems? 

1. What possibilities exist that we have not yet considered? 

2. What has worked before? 

3. What’s the smallest change that could make the biggest impact? 

4. What solutions would create a win? 

5. What inspires you? What makes this situation inspiring, energizing, and mobilizing?
