Bannink, a clinical psychologist, trainer, and teacher, presents a resource for students and professionals in therapy, education, coaching, and mediation to use in conducting therapy that helps clients see their problems in terms of what is getting better rather than what is wrong. She describes how solution-focused interviewing is applied, its history, principles, theory, research, and sessions, and provides 1001 questions for general use and with specific types of clients such as children, couples, and families, those who have suffered trauma, or those who might benefit from medication. Other topics include collaboration, preventing or counteracting impasses or failures, and reflection. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
