Examining the effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy: a meta-analysis using random effects modeling
Year: 2006
Type: review
Abstract: Statement of the Research ProblemOver the past two decades, solutionfocused brief therapy (SFBT) has become a popular therapeutic model for social workers and other counseling professionals.Practitioners from all disciplines, especially social work, have embraced solutionfocused brief therapy because of its flexibility, its collaborative nature, and its emphasis on client strengths.Practitioners do not need to have the answers to a client's problem because they collaborate with the client to identify the problems, to define goals, and to look for solutions to meet those goals.While the popularity of solutionfocused brief therapy has grown amongst practitioners in the U.S. and around the world, research on its effectiveness is still limited (Gingerich & Eisengart, 2000; Triantafillou, 1997; Zimmerman, Prest, & Wetzel, 1997).The purpose of this article is to further examine the effectiveness of SFBT through a systematic review using metaanalytic procedures.
