SFBT:

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

A short-term therapy that focuses on solutions rather than problems.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a future-focused, goal-directed approach to therapy that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. Developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, SFBT is based on the belief that clients possess the skills and strengths needed to create change in their lives. Therapists use specific techniques, such as the miracle question and scaling questions, to help clients identify and achieve their goals quickly and efficiently.
