AKA: SFBT
Therapy that focuses on solutions and future goals rather than deeply analyzing problems.
In the context of addiction treatment:
Helps people identify what’s already working and build on it quickly.
What to know:
-
Short term and highly goal-oriented.
-
Uses questions like “What will be different when things are better?”
Example:
A client describes a “miracle day” where they wake up without craving; therapy works backward to identify steps toward that scenario.
