  1. In Chapter 13, It talked about social constructionism, SFBT, and narrative therapy. These approaches believe that people are competent and can be trusted to use their resources in creating better solutions for their problems. I liked how SFBT provides a context where individuals focuses on creating solution rather than talking about their problems. And with this approach, the therapist will ask miracle questions such as where a person would rather be at the moment? or something of that nature; to get the client to start thinking positive and help them to reach their goals.

    1. In chapter 13, It talk's about solution-focused brief therapy, Social construction. The therapeutic process of Bertolino and O'hanlon stress the importance of creating collaborative therapeutic relationships and see doing so as necessary for successful therapy. I think this process would be helpful to both the client and the therapist. I also like De Shazer 5 steps i believe if you make the client feel as comfortable as you can and not pressure them to speak on things that there not ready to speak on these steps will play a big part in everything. I also like the miracle question it gives you something to think about.

    2. In response to Kam, I llike this chapter a lot i feel like it give a person a lot to trust so they can believe in the things they wanna believe in and hopefully move forward. I also like the miracle question i believe if the client can think of something to change things maybe that will help them to start to get to where they need and want to be.

    4. In response to Shaniece, i agree with you about making the client feel comfortable so they'll be welling to open up to the therapist. Because the more the therapist know, the more they'll be able to help the client find the solution to their problems. Sometimes the client has the answer to their problems, they just need someone to pull the answers out of them.

    5. In response to Kam, I agree I like that the therapy tries to create something different for people and tries to put them in a better place than having their usual negative thought but I don't think this therapy would work for everyone.

    6. In reply to Kam, I also believe that this form of therapy is good because it focuses on solutions. I also like the questions that are asked to the client in order for them to start thinking about ways to solve a problem.
      This brings such a positive atmosphere to the session for the therapist and client.

  2. In response Kambaja, also like how SFBT provides a context where individuals focuses on creating solution rather than talking about their problem. I like how the client is trying solve their on problem instead,letting the therapist do all the work.I also like how the therapist try to put the client in a good place.

    1. In response to Jeff , I do like the concept of SFBT of basic notions about change but I'm not a fan of this therapy for helping people reaching goals for everyone its the type of therapy I think that would work to reach some people but not all.

  4. In response to Jeff, I liked the forms of language and the use of language in stories because the words that a client decide to use can have a lot of meaning. They might not say it right then and there, but it must have been important for them to say it. And also certain words can remind them of something or take them back to something that happened in their lives.

  5. Chapter 13 is about Social constructionism, it is based on the reality of which people live and the understanding of reality based on language. I agree with the concept of this therapy when a person adopts a definition it is hard to recognize behaviors counter to that definition.

  6. This chapter was about postmodern therapy. There are two parts to this therapy which are solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy. solution focused brief therapy was founded by Insoo Kim Berg and Steve Deshazer, and narrative therapy was founded by Micheal White and David Epston. Solution focused model emphasizes the role of clients establishing their own goals and preferences. Narrative therapy model is to invite clients to describe their experience in fresh language, which tents to open up new possible vistas of what is possible.

    1. In reply to Molly, I like narrative therapy because it allows the client to heard. Sometimes clients just want someone to listen to them instead of hearing the therapist talk all the time. Narrative therapy helps for clients that just wants someone to listen and not be judged by the comments or situation they may bring up.

  7. Chapter 13 discusses Post modern approaches to therapy. It focuses on solutions and this type of therapy is good for clients that are on a specific time frame in solving a problem. This type of therapy is also good for clients that issues are not revolving around their childhood, which would require more sessions to solve. I enjoyed reading about solution-orientated therapy because it allows the client to stop bringing up the negative and start focusing on positive ways to solve problems so their will not be a repetition of continuous problems arising. This type of therapy brings a positive light to the client because some clients may feel that therapy is based on only talking about bad things going on in their lives, which can confuse a client who does not really understand therapy. In the sessions, the client will understand that you can talk about anything you feel, and it does not always have to be related to a tragic event in their lives.

  8. Chapter 13 speaks on the postmodern approaches social constructionism and narrative therapy. social constructionism values the client's reality without disputing whether it is accurate or rational. Narrative therapy encourages the therapist to listen to client's story. I like them both because what one doesn't have the other does.

    1. In response to niesha i agree with you when you said "social constructionism values the client's reality without disputing whether it is accurate or rational. Narrative therapy encourages the therapist to listen to client's story. I like them both because what one doesn't have the other does. " because i would use both of them in a therapy session to make up for whatever the other technique was lacking.
