Irreconcilable Differences: A Solution-Focused Approach to Marital Therapy
When couples come to therapy they are often combative, quick to point the finger, and about to give up on the relationship. In this video, Insoo Kim Berg demonstrates her approach with one such couple, and in two sessions shows how effective it can be to focus a couple on their strengths and resources, moving them away from fighting and towards collaboration.

Leslie is angry with her husband, Bill, for working long hours and neglecting her and the children. Bill is struggling to support his family and believes Leslie doesn't appreciate or trust him. Insoo Kim Berg uses techniques to focus this fiery and argumentative couple on solutions, and bring their mutual commitment to the relationship and family to the forefront.
I found this video demonstration to be especially helpful in learning how to redirect the couples focus toward their strengths and future desires.  All in all a very inspiring and respectful approach.
 - Roxanne May, MFT,  Mill Valley, CA

This is a welcome learning resource not only for those who may be beginners to this approach but also for those who already have some knowledge of and experience in BSFT. Learning about an approach by watching other therapists practice their craft with real clients is invariably fascinating: having the opportunity to watch the therapists who have contributed so much to the development of this approach made it even more absorbing. The questions from the panel of onlookers at the end provided additional learning and it was very interesting listening to Steve De Shazer and Kim Berg explaining why they made the interjections and asked the questions they did. Well worth watching.
