This presentation will go beyond the textbook version of SFBT and explore its practical aspects: the thought process of SFBT and what we actually do in the room. We’ll discuss and hopefully debunk some myths, and end with a role-play\practice session, so you can get a real feel of SFBT.

​

Workshop Objectives:​

• Participants will be able to bridge the gap between the textbook version and field practices of SFBT.

• Participants will be able to conceptualize the solution-focused way of thought.

• Participants will be able to use some SFBT techniques.
