The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of both clients’ and therapists’ evaluations of goal clarification on the variables which is considered important in SFBT. A total of 223 participants who responded to all questionnaires were the subject of the analysis. The results of this study showed a correlation between self and therapists’ evaluations for the imagination of the Miracle Question, the concreteness of the goal, and the reality of the goal. On the other hand, none of the relationships were strongly correlated, confirming that the self evaluation and the therapists’ evaluation differed to a certain extent. Goal-related evaluation by the therapist had a positive impact on solution building, solution orientation, and causal analysis. Besides, self evaluation related to Miracle Question and goal had a positive impact on self-efficacy and degree of problem-solving. These findings indicate that self and therapists’ evaluations related to Miracle Question and goal have a diverse effect on problem-solving.","PeriodicalId":137801,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solution Focused Practices","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131593038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This flexibility is one of the features that makes SFBT a very client-centered approach and has been highlighted as one of the key aspects of successful co-construction of desired outcomes with clients (Franklin et al., 2017). This collaborative approach is possible due to SFBT’s utilization of social constructionist principals in the solution-building process (Blundo & Simon, 2015). While encouraging flexibility of implementation of SFBT, identifying the main tenets of the therapy, including specific techniques and mindsets is helpful to researchers who are interested in determining SFBT’s success in certain clinical and research efforts (Lehmann & Patton; Trepper et al., 2012). To help with this process, members of the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Association (SFBTA) created a treatment manual that outlined these major tenants to serve as a guide and to reach a consensus about how to understand and implement SFBT (Trepper et al.). In publishing their SFBT fidelity instrument, Lehmann and Patton recommended that the field of SFBT focus more seriously on the issues of treatment fidelity in SFBT practice and research. However, continued discussion on the topic has been limited in the peer-reviewed, published SFBT literature. To continue this discussion among SFBT researchers and practitioners, the process for planning, monitoring and reporting fidelity to SFBT in the Solution Focused Wellness for HIV Intervention for women (SFWH) will be presented. The SFWH fidelity monitoring process will be explained in the context of both common SFBT fidelity processes and the latest accepted behavioral intervention research guidelines for the fidelity process.","PeriodicalId":137801,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solution Focused Practices","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126265187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dobud","doi":"10.59874/001c.75049","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59874/001c.75049","url":null,"abstract":"Taking talking therapy outdoors is becoming increasingly popular, especially gaining traction in response to COVID restrictions on what can be done face-to-face indoors, and with increasing awareness of benefits from being outdoors in nature (Ewert & Davidson, 2021). In this paper, we draw on ethics of sustainability from the outdoor activity sector to look for metaphors for therapeutic practice outdoors, especially solution-focused brief therapy. We start with what is currently regarded as good practice for the preservation and conservation of the environments and habitats we frequent. We then develop these tenets of ethics, such as Leave No Trace, as metaphors for deliberate solution-focused therapeutic work outdoors, especially with regard to honoring the voices of our clients. Metaphors are provided to demonstrate why, and how, outdoor therapy practitioners should aim to ‘leave no trace’ in the lives of those they serve, as they would leave no trace of their presence on the land they travel. We illustrate how our practice can draw on sustainability ethics to enable the decolonization of our solution-focused outdoor work (Mlcek, 2017), and consider how a privilege-aware approach to practice can be used to help ‘decolonize’ therapeutic practice. We suggest that solution-focused approaches to outdoor therapy require additional work in counseling theory and ethics to supplement outdoor leadership qualifications.","PeriodicalId":137801,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solution Focused Practices","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114637396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
