The final work of world renowned family therapists and original developers of SFBT, the late Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg (who passed away shortly before the book’s release) this definitive resource provides the most up-to-date information available on this eminently practical, internationally acclaimed approach. New revelations about the impact of language in therapeutic change are presented precisely and clearly, illustrated with real life case examples that give readers a hands-on view of the newest technical refinements in the SF approach. Challenging questions about the applications of SFBT to complex problems in difficult settings are given thoughtful, detailed answers. The book’s unique design allows the reader to listen in on the lively discussions that took place as the authors watched therapy sessions.
