Watch Insoo Kim Berg masterfully demonstrate Solution-Focused Therapy in an actual therapy session in this 3-part video. What a treat to see this legendary therapist in action!
As the name implies, solution-focused therapy emphasizes clients’ existing strengths and skills instead of problems and psychopathology. In this video, Berg demonstrates her uniquely optimistic and supportive therapy style. See how effectively she connects with the client, using her language, tracking how the client frames her problems, and mirroring her skills and assets. Hosts Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos introduce Berg and facilitate an enlightening discussion, which sheds light on the subtle nuances of this seemingly simplistic approach.
From watching this Solution-Focused Therapy video, you will:
- Develop an understanding of the key concepts of Solution-Focused Therapy including assuming the client as expert, and focusing on strengths and solutions, rather than problems and diagnoses.
- Gain insight into Insoo Kim Berg’s interview style and how she responds to clients using their words, mirrors their skills and assets, and reframes problems into solutions.
- Learn how to apply Solution-Focused techniques including the Miracle Question, Scaling, and Exceptions to your own therapeutic work with clients.
