Short therapy centered on the solution

History

The short Thérapie centered on solution (TBCS) was created since 1982 in Brief Family Therapy Center of Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg.

Description

This school brings a new therapeutic paradigm; it is not a question here to solve a problem but to create a solution or better, to regard the solution as déjà-là and to manage to build this one.

Affiliations

The TBCS belongs to a historical current of the strategic therapies. It is particularly used in family therapy as much as individual.

Premise S

There are three:

If it is not broken, do not repair
Once you know what goes, make it more
If that does not go, do not start again: made another thing

Tools

The TBCS worked out 4 tools:

the miracle. The therapeutist puts the following question: " During the night a miracle occurred and your problem was solved, with your alarm clock how do you see it? ". The person thus describes what she sees, saw, hears… then and the therapeutist the assistance to work out the step to arrive to this solution.

the scale: " on a gradation from 0 to 10 (e.g.: 0 = the worst and 10 = the best) where are you located? The therapeutist can then put two questions: " Why is it with N? (e.g. 2) " and " which is your objective and how to reach it? "

exceptions: the problem was already solved at least once: " to make more same chose".

To do something of different. A small change is enough.

It should be noted that the interventions of the therapeutist are done in the form of unconditional positive connotations.
