Reviews / Votes
The language the authors use is exemplary: loud and clear, no nonsense. I particularly like the reflective parts, with the kinds of questions a solution focused worker would ask their client. A book you should have in your library! -- Els Mattelin, therapist and co-author of Autism and Solution-focused Practice The practice activities in the book provide a wide range of questions we can use to ensure that clients feel they are being heard properly. It is an accessible book, which will be of use to anyone involved in multi-agency working. -- Kidge Burns, Solution focused practitioner, trainer and author of Focus on Solutions: A Health Professional's GuideMore details
