This book is a comprehensive overview of how solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) can be used as a treatment approach for working with clients managing various forms of trauma. This book includes an overview of SFBT with its basic tenets and a description of the current research supporting SFBT as an evidence-based practice. This is followed by a comparison of how SFBT clinicians may approach trauma cases differently than clinicians from other therapeutic approaches. The bulk of the book includes various chapters contributed by skilled SFBT clinicians, with differing clinical expertise, illustrating SFBT as it is applied to different traumatic experiences/clinical cases. This book is the first solution-focused book to comprehensively discuss how traumatized clients can be helped to develop a unique preferred future and move toward healing and health. The distinguishing feature of this book lies not only in its unique approach to trauma but also in the outstanding contributors from various specialties in the field of trauma and SFBT: These contributors will share their knowledge and describe their strength-based, resiliency focus of applying SFBT in different traumatic circumstances.
