Solution focus therapy is a specific defined approach with a fairly set format.
Steve de Shazer was the guru in the development of SFT, its worth watching the footage of him using this appraoch with people you might be able to find them on you tube.
As nurse of course we tend to maggpie bits here and ther and adapt them to our real world situations.
I found SFT to be one of the most useful tools in my work in acute psychiatry
Practitioners of Solution Focused Therapy are typically professional counselors, psychologists or social workers who are either state licensed or in training to become state licensed. As such, they use Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients with counseling concerns (e.g., substance use, the aftermath of sexual abuse). One of these practitioners may also be trained to work as a Coach, but not typically.
An individual who serves as a Coach is not necessarily qualified to work with individuals on counseling concerns. More typically, Coaches assist individuals with career development related concerns (e.g., long-term goals for advancement in one's career). Coaches may use an approach that includes some of the same principles found in SFT. Some these include emphasizing the strengths of the individual, focusing on the future rather than the past, and focusing on building solutions rather than addressing problems. (Note - that if a Coach were working with someone on career development goals and found out they also had a substance use issue, they would make a referral to a counselor, psychologist, or social worker regarding the substance use issue). Thus, Coaches frequently employ a solution focused approach (not to be confused with solution focused therapy) in working with individuals.
Solution focused dialogue can be used in many situations. It has an extensive research base. It is a valuable addition to acute psychiatry and to organisational and coaching tasks.
Solution-focused therapy related to mental health. It involves the therapist assisting the patient with identifying solutions that the use in one or more areas of their life and integrating those solutions in areas that they are having difficulty. It ignores focusing on the problem.
Coaching relates to accountability and goal setting, so problem areas are a focus. Anyone can be a coach with minimal training. It involves the coach helping the client identify their goals and their own plans to achieve those goals.
To use solution-focused techniques or any other psychotherapy, the practitioner must be aware of human development. Coaching involves people skills that can be obtained through experience, leadership training, etc.
SFT is usually protocol or manualised therapy. Has been investigated in terms of clinical utility/effectiveness.
Coaching is less regulated and may or may not be faciliated by a trained practitioner/psychologist/psychogical therapist.
