Talk:Solution-focused brief therapy

message: The second paragraph in the history section seemed to be full of vague generalities with a biased point of view, whilst lacking actual substance.  I deleted it.  Quintopia (talk) 08:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I have expanded the article so it is no longer a stub. It still needs some polishing up. Also, I'm not sure waht to do about SFBT vs SFBC--they are the same, but I think SFBC is the preferred term in liturature.whicky1978 16:14, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
I must say that the language used in this article is extremely confusing.  I've studied an MA in SFBT and I can't follow some of what is being said here.  Could I suggest that  we could gradually simplify the language and remove unneccessary epitemological links, or relegate them to a seperate section further down the article?

message: I added a sentence about the influence of Bandler, Grinder and Lankton in the development of brief therapy with a good reference. I was surprised that they were not mentioned in the current article. It was in a previous version but was removed by anonymous without comment. Look at the text, the influence may have been overstated. ----Action potential  t c 00:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The idea of merging Brief Therapy with SFBT seems to be confusing logical levels. SFBT is a type of Brief Therapy. But there are brief psychodynamic therapies, brief behavioural therapies and brief cognitive therapies, all of which are part of Brief Therapy.
It is a little like suggesting that we merge Oranges and Fruit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TimMars1966 (talk • contribs) 19:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just merged the Solution focussed counselling article in. Some of those other forms of brief therapy should covered in the brief therapy article. That's where the differences could be outlined. ----Action potential  t c 04:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This has been categorized under :Category:Cognitive behavioral therapy. I don't know anything about this type of therapy, but this seems incorrect to me? Neither "cognitive" nor "behavioral" is mentioned in the article... /skagedal... 12:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, it is.  It may be so-called post-modern, but it functions based on influencing behavior (manipulating) and altering cognition (lying?).  Post-modern only means that the truth is in the debate we are hence not positive about it.  But we are positive, or positivistic, that these clients need to change.  It is based on Milton Erickson who did some really creepy stuff with thumb sucking and hypnosis.--John Bessa (talk) 21:12, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Kims research specifically found that, although the effect is small, the appraoch is effective at reducing externalizing behaviors.

message: I added history on Brief Family Therapy Center (BFTC) as BFTC is notable primarily because it served as the institution where the SFBT approach was developed and disseminated. Proud Novice (talk) 21:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
