Leading From Behind: Episode 5 - First Sessions: Getting Started

from Podcast - Halifax Brief Therapy Hosted by Barry McClatchey

In Episode 5 of Leading From Behind, we examine the conversation that takes place in the first session of solution focused therapy, up to the point before we shift into questions about the client's preferred future. A "role-play" case example is used to demonstrate some of the questions and skills used during this portion of a first session. In particular, we look at how to find out about the client's best hopes from the conversation, the use of coping questions and indirect compliments. Finally, we underline the importance in asking about pre-session change.
