Solution Talk: Hosting Therapeutic Conversations
“This welcome text, brimming with examples, solves human problems in a new and constructive way. Utilizing ideas like ‘inspiration days,’ the authors present us with their format for thinking about families, work systems, and training. Unique to this format is its inclusion of the client’s approach to the problem and the construction of joint conversations involving all participants in the problem system. The reader has many discoveries ahead that I suspect will encourage confidence in the generation of positive ideas in every systemic situation.” —Peggy Penn, Director of Training, Ackerman Institute This book represents an addition to the literature on brief therapy. "Solution Talk" is a term Furman and Ahola use to refer to a constructive and agreeable manner of talking with people about problems. A conversation dominated by "solution talk" rather than "problem talk" is characterized by an atmosphere of mutual respect and is likely to focus on the future rather than the past, on resources rather than shortcomings, on success and progress rather than failure, and on solutions rather than problems.
