What is the role of the client in Solution Focused Therapy?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

Because individuals' lives are so diverse, it is difficult to recommend the same solution for all clients. Whereas science and medicine use convergent thinking, the helping professions should use divergent thinking (de Shazer et al., 2007). Problems should be examined in terms of the various discourses affecting the client. Solution-focused therapy declares that clients can construct their own solutions to problems. Therapists do not see themselves as experts at scientifically assessing client problems and then intervening. On the contrary, the solution-focused clinician strives to be expert at exploring clients' frames of reference and identifying whatever perceptions they have about living better lives (DeJong & Berg, 2002). Because the therapist is using clients' frames of reference, it becomes less useful to concentrate on resistance.
