Insoo Kim Berg

Viimeinkin suomenkielinen käännös alan perusteoksesta "Interviewing for Solutions" (Peter De Jong ja Insoo Kim Berg). Ratkaisukeskeisen psykoterapian perusteos. Käytännöllinen ja loogisesti etenevä oppikirja, joka kertoo lukijalle kädestä pitäen - todellisten sanasta sanaan kirjattujen asiakashaastattelujen valottamana - miten ratkaisukeskeistä terapiaa tehdään erilaisten asiakkaiden kanssa. Kirja on ensisijaisesti suunnattu asiakas- tai potilastyötä tekeville sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon työntekijöille, opiskelijoille sekä opettajille. Koska sen polttopisteessä on kysymys siitä, miten ihmisiä autetaan tekemään positiivisia muutoksia elämässään, se kiinnostaa kaikkia, joita kiehtoo ihmisten auttaminen, johtaminen, valmentaminen ja motivoiminen muutokseen.

Att samtala med klienter på ett effektivt sätt är en konst som går att lära. I stället för att ta den vanliga vägen och fokusera på problem, hjälper Peter De Jong och Insoo Kim Berg dig att utveckla lösningsbyggande tekniker och metoder för att nå bästa resultat i samtalen med dina klienter. De tar dig, steg för steg, genom processen att bygga lösningar i samarbete med klienten. De uppmuntrar dig att tillvarata klientens egen kompetens, då du hjälper dem formulera vilka förändringar de vill se i sina liv och bygga på det som redan fungerar för dem. Boken är skriven på ett konkret sätt utan onödiga facktermer. För den skull fattas inte gedigna teoriavsnitt samt redovisningar av utvärderingar av metoden. I denna omarbetade 4:e upplaga redovisas aktuell forskning kring lösningsbyggande samtal, och hur man kan tillämpa metoden på ett flertal områden, utöver ren psykoterapi. I bokens sista kapitel beskriver ett stort antal praktiker hur Lösningsbyggande samtal kan tillämpas bl a i skolor, fängelser och med personer med våldsproblematik. Bokens tidigare upplagor har kommit ut på svenska under titeln: Att bygga lösningar.

De Jong er professer i sosialt arbeid ved Calvin College, mens Berg arbeider ved Brief Family Therapy Center.

Dette er en grundbog i anvendelse af den løsningsfokuserede metode i klientsamtaler. De fleste samtalemetoder arbejder med fokus på klientens problemer. Den løsningsfokuserede metode er anderledes, fordi den ikke interesserer sig så meget for problemerne som for, hvordan de kan løses. At arbejde løsningsfokuseret vil sige at sætte fokus på klientens ressourcer, dvs. de områder der fungerer godt i klientens tilværelse. Ved at forstærke og forstørre disse områder og dermed fokusere på klientens ressourcer kan man skabe løsninger af klientens problemer i samarbejde med klienten. Ben Furman skriver i sit forord til den danske udgave: ”Du vil opleve, at det faktisk er muligt at tale om problemer uden at fokusere på problemerne. Det gør man ved at fokusere på, hvordan klienterne gerne vil have, deres liv skal være, i stedet for at fokusere på, hvordan de ikke ønsker, det skal være. Den løsningsfokuserede tilgang hviler på den tanke, at hvor der er et problem, er der også et ønske om, at tingene var anderledes.” Løsningsfokuserede samtaler beskriver de færdigheder, der er nødvendige for at bruge den løsningsfokuserede metode i praksis. Bogen indeholder lange dialoger fra klientsamtaler, som giver et klart billede af, hvordan løsningsfokuserede samtaler forløber. Bogen henvender sig til psykologer, familiebehandlere, behandlere i skolesystemet, læger og sygeplejersker i psykiatrien samt behandlere i alle former for socialt arbejde.

Bogens centrale tema er den løsningsfokuserede metode i coaching samtalen. Hvordan skabes en samtale, som over kort tid er udviklende for fokuspersonen i bestræbelsen på at skabe og opstille klare proaktive mål? Gennem hele bogen arbejdes i dybden med teknikker og metoder på en brugbar måde. Forfatternes position i bogen bygger på et rationale om, at fokuspersonerne selv har evnen til at reflektere over, hvilke mål der er bedst for dem selv og hvordan de opnår disse mål. Bogen indeholder 5 kapitler, hvor samtalen udvikler sig og læseren inviteres ind i en anerkendende humanistisk tilgang, der først og fremmest tager udgangspunkt i fokuspersonens værdier. Bogen henvender sig til praktiserende coaches, som vil læse mere om det praktiske og erfaringsbaserede perspektiv på coaching, hvor klientens ressourcer og værdier er det centrale udgangspunkt. Bogen er også velegnet til kurser og efteruddannelse i den løsningsfokuserede metode. Bogen er den anden i serien om løsningsfokusering. Den første bog LØSNINGSFOKUSEREDE SAMTALER er skrevet af INSOO KIM BERG og PETER DE JONG. INSOO KIM BERG var en af grundlæggerne af den løsningsfokuserede metode. Hun underviste i metoden ved Brief Family Therapy Center. PETER SZABÓ, Dr. jur. og certificeret coach. Han er grundlægger og leder af Weiterbildungsforum, Bassel, som er den største coaching skole i Schweiz. Oversat fra efter Brief Coaching for Lasting Solutions af Stig W. Jørgensen.

Perhaps more so than in any other situation, coaching allows practitioners to quickly forge collaborative relationships with their clients and help them maximize their performance in work and in life. Brief Coaching for Lasting Solutions teaches coaches how to conduct conversations that are most useful to clients in achieving their goals within a brief period of time. The authors, two of the leading practitioners of the brief coaching method, masterfully guide readers through the steps of this process–from the initial meeting to follow-up sessions to troubleshooting setbacks–while illustrating essential skills with ample case examples. This book is written for coaches who want to reduce the time it takes to provide effective coaching while making the best use possible of resources the client brings to the table. At the same time it is written for the benefit of today’s clients, so many of whom want to avoid coaching that is time-intensive and costly, and instead seek coaching that is organized, efficient, and affordable. Whether your clients seek a solution to a specific problem or strive toward a more general life goal, this invaluable resource will put you on the path to brief coaching success.

Focusing on solutions and not problems, thinking about the future and not the past, and understanding the effects of miracles—children do these things naturally. Here, leaders in the solution-focused approach to therapy provide clinicians with a guide to a kind of therapy that fits with children's natural way of being.

Commentary by the authors elucidating the most recent advances in and answers to FAQs about solution-focused therapy make this a treasury of valuable information.

How does one change the attitudes and practices of child protective services (CPS)—a statewide bureaucracy often overwhelmed and understaffed? First, take an outsider to the system, Insoo Kim Berg, who has a vision and a solution-focused model. Add an insider, Susan Kelly, who understands the system. Spend many hours with CPS workers in the field, learning from them and helping them make the shift from a deficit perspective to a collaborative model that emphasizes strengths and solutions. Envision and implement change throughout the system. Celebrate small successes on the way to building family self-sufficiency and integrity. This recipe for reforming child protective services is being followed in many public child welfare agencies, with growing success. In Building Solutions the authors explain how to conceptualize, implement, and sustain this hopeful and positive frame in a daily practice for dedicated frontline workers as well as for those in supervision, management, and administration. The book has two parts. In the first, the authors put child protective services in context, introducing the system and their new approach, giving a brief history of child protection in the United States, and setting the stage for change. In the second part, the authors walk readers through the nuts and bolts of implementation, from the first phone call to case closure—including discussions about placing a child out of the home. Berg and Kelly also discuss supervision, consultation, and ongoing training, as well as their vision of the future of CPS. This book is not a manual; it is a challenge to step out of the traditional CPS "box" and think differently—to create client-driven services that make sense. The authors challenge CPS administrators, supervisors, and workers to begin conversations about how the system can be more helpful and respectful to the families so that the parents can get what they need to care for their children. Building Solutions should have a place on the desk of everyone involved in child protective services.

Stressing solutions rather than pathology, clients' strengths and their strategies for past successes rather than their weaknesses or problems, this team utilizes a solution-building approach by discovering and exploring the ways substance abusers heal themselves. The book covers solution-focused therapy one step at a time. Bursting with case examples, quick tips, and questions "from the field," this is a reader-friendly manual.

Your spouse complains about your drinking. Your boss suggests Alcoholics Anonymous. You know you have a problem. You need a solution; you need a miracle. The authors ask readers to imagine such a miracle: Suppose that while you are asleep tonight a miracle happens and your problem is solved, just like that! Because you were sleeping, you didnt know that this miracle occurred. What is the first thing tomorrow morning that will let you know that there has been a miracle and that your problem is solved? From that "first thing," the authors help readers to imagine a future where drinking is not a problem and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. Neither the humiliation of "hitting bottom" nor a lifetime commitment to AA is necessary to make this approach work. Instead the individual learns to recognize exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem), catch himself "doing things right," handle setbacks, and revise the "miracle picture" when things arent working. Highly practical, The Miracle Method is a radically new and effective approach to problem drinking.

At a time when the accepted standard treatment for alcoholism is long-term and expensive, solution-focused therapy, as developed at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee, offers a brief and cost-effective alternative. Insoo Kim Berg and Scott D. Miller believe that a focus on solutions, rather than pathology, is the most constructive strategy for working with problem drinkers; their foremost concern is with what works. To this end they don't reject traditional treatment programs; rather, they view them as one part of a flexible and multidimensional approach to alcohol abuse treatment. The authors successfully utilize solution-focused therapy in their work with problem drinkers, but it is their philosophy of working with clients—and within clients' belief systems—to encourage change that is at the heart of their model. The model, grounded in the philosophy of solution-focused brief therapy, introduces a paradigmatic change in the approach to substance abuse treatment. Rather than treating a problem drinker, Berg and Miller work with clients to treat problem drinking. The authors' refreshing blend of respect for their clients and optimism about their ability to stop abusive drinking offers hope to clients who can't fit into traditional long-term programs or who have given up on themselves. This book shows how clients can be helped to construct a future where drinking or substance abuse is no longer a problem. Solution-focused therapy, based on respect for and collaboration with the client, concentrates on success and solutions. Therapists develop goals with the client, rather than imposing "appropriate" treatment objectives. If one solution doesn't work, the technique—not the client—is blamed and client and therapist go on to "do something different." The authors' model is much more than a list of interventions; it is a multi-faceted approach to treatment, which can adapt to anything that works, whether brief therapy, AA, or more formal inpatient programs.
