    Exception Finding and Problem Free Talk
    Basic Philosophies
    • The client’s frame is the correct one
    • Highlighting on what can be changeable
    and possible.
    • The solution to the problem is within
    the client’s world
    • The person is not the problem
    • Awareness on the part of the client is
    NOT necessary for problem resolution
    • Clients are NOT sturdy to therapy
    • Change is constant
    • Counselor do not need to know a lot
    about the complaint to help resolve it
    • There is no “one issue” causing the
    problem
    • Short term therapy
    • Focus on possibilities and the future
    How does it works?
    Plan for 5 sessions
    45 minutes each
    If there is any improvement that can
    see, Then increase gap between
    sessions.
    Techniques
    • Focus on exclusions
    • When was the problem smaller
    • What helped you in the past
    • What have other done to overcome this type of
    problem
    • Change or solution-focused on talk
    • When the problem goes away…
    • When therapy works, what will let you know you don’t
    need it anymore?
    • Strength building
    • This is a somewhat special view of people
    • Rather than focus on what is wrong – notice and identify
    what is right
    The Miracle Question
    • Miller and Berg (1995)
    • Followed the client’s suggestion and
    asked, “Well … suppose that happened.…
    What would be different?”
    • Also,
    Who would be most surprised?
    What would others notice about you?
    How would you behave/act differently?
    Exception Question
    • Identify client’s resources that they don't
    even acknowledge
    • Can be used even in most negative situations
    • Genuine curiosity helps
    • Genuine admiration for client helps
    • Helps identify referred future
    • Ensure client doesn't feel counselor is
    contradicting them
    • How do you cooperate with these
    difficulties?
    • What keeps you going?
    • How do you manage day-to-day?
    • Who is your greatest support?
    • What do they do that is helpful?
    • How did you get through that period?
    • Who was your greatest support?
    • How did they help?
    Scaling Question
    • The most flexible, simple, and popular
    techniques
    • The therapist asks the client to imagine
    a scale ranging from 0 to 10.

    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    NO YES

    TASKS / SITUATIONS
    – Scale things like:
    • Happiness
    • Sadness
    • Problem resolution
    – From scaling quiz,
    • Clients usually become more
    optimistic and hopeful and they find
    new ways to take further steps
    forward on the scale.
    For whom?
    • Families
    • Couples
    • Children
    • Any one who want to change
    Disadvantages
    • Critics say it is too simplistic and does
    not have enough empirical research to
    support it.

    • It may be contraindicated with


    dependent clients.

    • It may not adequately address clients


    with serious mental issues.

    • It may not develop the counselor/client


    relationship in enough depth to be
    therapeutic.
    Conclusion
    • The SFBT is a quite new approach
    • The beginning of the 21st century messengers a
    break with the effect of the last century
    politically and socially as real- time
    communications, together with a globalization &
    ideas carried by computer technology have beaten
    time and geographic-cultural distances between
    countries.
    • Different cultures, values and beliefs are brought
    together through borrowed time and space.
    • Ready for the cultural change in society, would be
    dependent on whether any of them has the
    potential for change.
