Deshazer's 7 Core Principles

of Solution-Focused Therapy
Photo by Leo Reynolds

Problems develop and are maintained in the context of human interactions.

Individuals possess unique attributes, resources, limits, beliefs, values, experiences and sometimes difficulties, and they continually learn and develop different ways of interacting with each other.
Solutions lie in changing interactions in the context of the unique constraints of the situation.

The aim is to get clients doing something different, "by changing their situations so that a solution (a resolution of their complaint) can be acheived

Families are viewed as experts on their own lives.

De Shazer subscribes to Erickson's belief that individuals have a reservoir of wisdom learned and forgotten but still available.
The task of the practitioner is to facilitate the client in making contact with forgotten or unnoticed wisdom.

Resistance

  • Resistance is families way of telling the social worker how to help.
  • Key to cooperation is connecting the present to the future
  • Ignore the past, except for past successes
  • Emphasize family strengths
  • Advocate and suggest for family to try new things

REFRAMING

  • Meaning attributed to particular behaviors, such as labeling
  • Meaning of behaviors depends on perception and perspective. 
  • Reframing gives "new and beneficial meaning/s can be constructed for at lea

Goals should be small and achievable for family
