Product Description

Review

I am big fan of Brief Counseling That Works as a useful text and could rave about aspects of it. In brief, Sklare presents a practical, culturally relevant way for school counselors to work with large caseloads. (Patrick Akos, Assistant Professor 20050502)

"Brief Counseling That Works is one of the best books in the field of education that I have ever read. I am recommending it to anyone who works with kids." (Mary Ann Sweet, School Counselor 20050701)

Brief Counseling That Works is easy to pick up as a practitioner, understand, and implement. It is written in layman’s terms and with lots of examples that clarify any questions the reader might have. (Pauline Schara, Principal (Retired ) )

This text is engaging and offers the reader immediate and useful tools for bringing out the best in kids and helping them change. (Samuel Gladding, Professor and Chair, Department of Counseling )

In this new edition, Sklare follows his own advice by focusing on adding more of what is valuable and helpful. This book is filled with clear examples, practical tips, and wisdom that comes from years of experience. (Russell Sabella, Associate Professor )

“This book aids adults who seek to be more effective in their interactions with youth. More importantly, it offers a framework to help school personnel reconnect to the values and purposes that brought them into education and keep their interactions with children consistently grounded in the best intentions.” (William Madsen, Training Coordinator )

“What you are about to read represents an ingenious application of narrative ideas to work in schools. While many people use these ideas, this book develops them in novel and interesting ways. This is some of the most creative and exciting work I have seen in this field.” (Jeffrey Zimmerman, Director )

"It is a highly readable book and its greatest strength is that it provides practical examples of how the techniques work, using real-life case studies."

(Nurturing Potential, Issue 18 )

" . . . a wonderful guidebook with a comprehensive look at Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) that is practical for use in and out of the school setting. This short but concise book also offers many useful tools like reproducible materials and sample forms, (with) vivid case studies that help to illustrate the point of each step in SFBC, and exercises to practice the steps. All in all I would highly recommend this book to school counselors, administrators and anyone else who would benefit from the brief counseling methodology."

(Education Review, May 2005 )

"...here are an impressive range of interventions which, skillfully employed, will challenge young people to think differently about their perceptions...(with) practical examples of how the techniques work, using real life case studies." (Nurturing Potential, Issue 18 )


Product Description

`A highly readable book and its greatest strength is that it provides practical examples of how the techniques work, using real-life case studies. In fact, appendix one is entirely devoted to this. An excellent introduction to a highly effective counselling approach' - Nurturing Potential

This book offers school counsellors an effective and efficient approach to helping students through the use of Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC).

The author presents a focused, step-by-step approach to counselling in schools that leads to rapid, observable change in students. The skills of conducting solution-talk discussions with students can help to reduce arguments, improve relationships, and teach young people to assume responsibility and make better decisions in a supportive environment.

This new approach, as the name implies, focuses on solutions rather than problems. Students learn how to set goals, rediscover their resources, and repeat past successes.

This concise resource contains many tools and resources including:

} reproducible materials for use with Solution-Focused Guided Imagery

} short case studies and session transcripts to illustrate what SFBC looks like in practice

} guidelines for using solution-focused methods with referred discipline cases

} practice exercises to help readers apply the techniques

} sample forms to use in SFBC

An essential tool for school counsellors and a helpful resource for teachers and school administrators who also are involved in counselling primary and secondary students. This resource can also be used by psychologists, counsellors, and social workers who work with youth both in and out of the school setting. (20050429)

5.0 out of 5 stars most useful little book, 1 Feb 2006
By M. Bird "book potter" (Ballymena, Co Antrim, N Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have used this book a lot in my practice as a teacher for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties and it has influenced me greatly. It is by far the most easy to follow, clear and concise book in the BSFC field I have seen and, in my experience, it does work.
