The Next Generation of Solution-Focused Practice: Expanding the Boundaries of the World to New Opportunities and Progress

This book shows how practicing professionals help create conditions for change by "expanding the boundaries of the world" of their clients. It presents new ideas from the field of enactive cognition, demonstrating that close attention to the client and their words has both practical and conceptual significance. A brief overview of the history of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is provided, along with a discussion of recent developments in the field and their impact on shaping a new coherent form of practice based on evolving descriptions. The author has structured the book using simple and clear metaphors to paint a rich, creative, and colorful picture of the evolution of brief therapy, making it more accessible for understanding.
