Solution Focused Brief Therapy was developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg and their team in the 1980’s in Milwaukee, United States. It is a system directed intervention model inspired by the work of John Weakland (and others from the Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, USA), Milton H. Erickson and his pupil and strategic family therapist Jay Haley.
Steve and Insoo discovered that exploring the problem-saturated past (like in traditional psychotherapy) was not a necessity for change. By talking with the client about their preferred future, significant progress was made. The client was seen as competent in all aspects of his/her life and was addressed as such. Resources already present within the client were mobilised to realise their desired changes. Often no more than a few sessions were needed to reach significant and lasting changes.
The paradigm of Solution Focused Brief Therapy is now widely spread; Papers and books are published in many languages. There is a world-wide interest, not only from the therapeutic field but also from the management-field, education and health-care.
