Abstract

Steve Mccarthy-Grunwald, of the University of Cumbria, reviews the book 'Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Healthcare Settings: A Practical Guide' by Kidge Burns and Sarah Northcott (Routledge: Speechmark Books, 2023, ISBN 9780367435097).

The reader is taken systematically through the core principles and approaches of SFBT, which is useful for anyone new to SFBT, or those more seasoned practitioners to re-engage with its philosophical tenets. With a focus on recognising its merits in fostering worthwhile therapeutic interactions, especially with individuals experiencing life-changing conditions where there can be no simple solutions such as living with stroke, Parkinson’s disease or motor neurone disease (MND) who may experience communication difficulties including expressive or receptive dysphasia.
